Many years ago in a time far far away.....I checked out an LP record at the public library of the Sinfonietta by Czech Philharmonic. I was in the 7th grade then and this piece impressed me so much (Taras Bulba was on the other side of the record as well.) That I returned it after two weeks and waited around for the librarian to stock it back so I could "hide" it until the next day when I could check it out again.
Kept that record for 4 months that way and literally wore it out. My friends would come over and listen with me and be bowled over with the brass playing in both pieces.

The Sokol Fanfare (opening and closing of the Sinfonietta) is sometimes done on its own to open a festival or perhaps the 2nd half of a program.
