I shall be there on the Friday. How does the orchestra finalist section work? What's the tuba part like? Is the tuba used in any other of the sections?

[Ian1]

Hi dave,

I can't give away how the scene works and wouldn't want to spoil it for you but I think you'll enjoy it.

I'm only in one scene that lasts just over 40 mins.

The tuba part is tough, all from memory and flies around.

Come and say hi if possible.

Best wishes,

Ian

That is sounding more and more like a total trip, Ian. Rheingold opens tonight, apparently the first time Dove's edition has been done in German. What a blast!

Good luck Steve....

I'm sure Jonathan Dove will be in Birmingham and I will tell him I have spoken to you!

Best wishes,

Ian

How has it gone?

Great news hot of the press, the Stockhausen Foundation have kindly given me permission to record the tuba solo from Mittwoch aus Licht so will be on the CD due for release in November.

Sounds great, keep everyone posted about when the CD will be released! And I assume this will have to be ordered through the Stockhausen Verlag?
