[edit] Performances

I read

The difficulty of the solo writing in the cadenza and the fast movement concerned Goodman, who told Copland he was "only a jazz man" and might not have the technique to handle the work. Despite Copland’s assurances, Goodman hesitated, and there was no public performance. Copland finally arranged for a Philadelphia Orchestra performance on November 28, 1950, soon after Goodman’s two-year exclusivity would expire. Aware of this, Goodman gave the world premiere on November 6 on an NBC Symphony of the Air radio broadcast conducted by Fritz Reiner. He would record the work many times, twice with Copland conducting.

This seems to confirm that Goodman did perform the world premiere. brian stormen 16:36, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

B.t.w. the above citation also casts some doubt on the "first radio performance status (1951)" of the Legend recording in the discography. The alternative being of course that the world premiere was not broadcasted. To be investigated brian stormen 16:39, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

I need the correct references to the Program Notes from the CD Richard Stoltzman CD The Essential Clarinet. I listed information found on amazon.com but I don't think it is complete. Some information from it was paraphrased in the article. Thanks. Clarinet4life90 03:52, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

The liner notes are in themselves paraphrasing information gleaned elsewhere. I have been pulling together other references in an attempt to complete this article. Will be continued... brian stormen 21:26, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
