Great, I've been expecting to see this for some time. Does Schirmer have the orchestra parts? Maybe that's another project for you.

NeilG: You must have read my mind? The full score is a mess and I am working on editing that and submitting it to Schirmer. Hopefully if enough bassists find the solo enjoyable and wish to perform it with an orchestra then it will find its way off the shelf and into the concert halls. It’s a great work for conservatory students to play - quite difficult. Hope you like it!

A few years ago, Schirmer sent me the score to look at. People should know what a holy mess it was and what a job it is to make a full edition. Now, if you could convince them to sell the parts and not just rent them, that would truly make the work 100% accessible.

Considering that it is still under copyright that would be a real long shot! If they did agree to sell the parts I would think they would probably price them at over $500 for the set - not too cost effective for maybe one performance...
