Brian,

I've been in situations where I've actually had the part passed out to me...but the conductor still didn't want me to play it. I always ask to make sure. In the last situation (Vermont Sym.) he said I might as well play it while I'm here!

As to where it comes from...I don't know. Kind of a bastardized bass trombone/bassoon part I guess. I love the contra bassoon part...makes it all worthwhile! It's fun to jump into the piece though, isn't it?!
