Yes, JC...this is the one and it is true. I remember it like it was yesterday even though it was 10-11 years ago. Yikes! How time flies! All of us were really sweatin' during the first movement . He blossomed like a flower on the second movement and then we knew he was going to be alright for the remainder of the concerto.
