I believe they're available from Boosey (who now represents Bote und Bock). I can't remember whom we rented them from. I can check with the orchestra librarian but I know they're available commercially; I'm in Europe for the next 3 weeks. If that doesn't work let me know at tympani@ix.netcom.com and I'll follow-up when I'm back in the US.

I'd like to know how to secure orchestral parts for this piece. Can you tell me?

I've a student preparing it for a concerto competition. Would appreciate any info on where to rent or purchase parts. Enjoyed your performance! R. Dimond. Professor of Music. Henderson St. Univ.

Thanks for the comment. As you know, it's a fun piece to play. I’m surprised there are so few posts of it. I heard Thärichen play in Berlin in the 80's and I'm now friends with his son, Nicolas.

Wow, I performed this on my senior recital at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio back in 1984 and I never thought I'd find this as a post on YouTube. Great performance!! Thanks for posting :0)
