| FYI, the ITG's January 2005 issue includes an article on Schuller's concerto by Peter Wood. According to the article, the concerto "was commissioned on behalf of, and first performed by, the virtuoso trumpeter-conductor Gerard Schwarz in August 1979. In the 25 years since its premiere, the piece has never been recorded commercially, and has been performed, to this author's knowledge, only five times - four times by Stephen Burns and once by John Wallace - the last performance occurring in 1984."
