...it's a very fun piece to play, difficult but by no means impossible (partially since it was written for the piccolo trumpet, not the clarino, etc), tonal, but with a few interesting curveballs.

Has anyone seen this performed? Better yet, any recordings? Krol's not even in the Grove, but, hey, the song's cool and I like it. Who knows, I'm not that hung up on finding recordings for everything, but it's a hard enough piece to ear-train.

I'm thinking of doing a recital/chamber recital on twentieth century works that look back to Bach, including a bit of Bach transcription maybe. I'm thinking Barber capricorn, Hindemith bassoon and trumpet concerto (underrated)--which aren't explicitly based on Bach but are very consciously influenced by his style (which, I suppose you could say of alot). There's the new Arvo Part piece for picc, but I imagine that's next to impossible.

Yes, I'm aware that the Hindemith Sonata ends with a Bach chorale, but it's not really the vibe I'm going for. I don't want to perform that, anway, until I have all my physical issues completely (completely, completely) taken care of, so I'm applying what I learn rather than undoing it.
