Yes, kudos to Chris for learning that! Now I am wondering if I had known you when I lived out there, if I could have convinced you to learn the reduction of the Hindemith Horn Concerto, which is perhaps the most difficult of all piano reductions, according to many pianists. My own girlfriend at the time refused to learn it, though she could have, being a concert pianist. She really was too busy. I did convince the late Kristin Pankonin to learn it (did you know her, Chris?); however she got carpal tunnel and we had to cancel it from that recital, and I never did get to do it. Since then I have never asked anyone to learn it, despite it's being a really great concerto for my particular abilities. I get very few and far between opportunities to recital nowadays, anyway.
