Hi George,

Hi George,
I'm afraid I'm strange in that I don't often get specific visions from music, even programmed music. I might know what Don Juan is up to all the way through, but it gets lost in the music itself. But a lot of my favorite music is meant to evoke a story or a vision. I have enjoyed this piece several times for the melodic movement and the instrumentation.
I didn't notice any notes below the range of the flute or oboe, although Bb isn't easy, I'm told, for the oboe. The flute is pretty weak from about F5 down, but the performers would know and compensate for this, I'd think. Perhaps using two flutes for those lower notes might help, too.
A lovely piece.
all best,
mgj
