Mr. Carroll (or Ed),
I'm planning a chamber recital for April or May. The works mostly have a neo-baroque or neo-classical bent to them: Capricorn Concerto and the Hindemith Trumpet and Bassoon Concerto are anchor pieces. I find that this is a good way to learn some out-of-the-way rep while making some new friends. Also probably on the program is a piece written for Bruce Briney by violist Harold Levin for Trumpet, viola, and bassoon.

I'm engaged to a violist, so I'm constantly looking for rep that she and I can perform together. I found a pocket score for Gail Kubik"s "Symphony Concertante," for trumpet and viola, written in the 1950s, explicitly neo-classical, and it looks like an interesting piece. It won the pulitzer prize, although like many pulitzer prize winning pieces I have no idea what happened to it. I thought I'd ask you, oh sage of twentieth century music, if you knew of any recordings, performances, or piano reductions of this piece. Or if you'd even heard of it!

I'd reduce the piece myself, but it would be nice to hear it first to make sure I didn't put in hours and hours of time memorializing a "fish-piece." Any thoughts?
