I consider this the hardest piece I've ever seen and played. This was one of the songs in our repertoire for the Top Talented Students Honor Band in Chaffey HS 2 weeks ago. What are your thoughts on this piece?

I've taken a look at (and actually played) the 1st/Solo Clarinet part.
Its an insane piece!!! In order for to learn it, I had to listen to an organ recording of it several times...
I love the piece...its a great piece of music...its just insane!
Actually, there was a marching band who tried to do it for a show one year....you can guess how *that* worked out.
If you have to play the piece...be prepared to practice it every day for half an hour at least...and just that piece...
Hmmmmm!

I haven't heard the band version. I loooooovvvve the organ version.
That guy was a great writer man. It is one of my favorites.
