Yup!

I have a copy of the trpt part for the Titan. It has written double D's that mean business! There are two recodrings of the Titan. One features Maynard with the NY Philly. The other features Buddy Brisbois with the CSO. The CSO recording is of poor qualtiy and doesn't do Brisbois justice. However, Maynard just hammers the the thing! It is truly astonishing. Yes, he completely out blows the whole orchestra, but it is entirely appropriate in the context of the movement. The Fox was seriously on when he played that piece!
