I'm pretty sure contrabassoons are not supposed to have as many notes as I have in the finale of your fifth symphony. That is way too many notes. Thanks for the low As in the bassoon 3 part, though, I had great fun making a tube for them.
Yrs respectfully,
Sigma
p.s. Your wife, Alma? I've heard it said that she "collects composers in her bed like some people collect stamps." Just thought you should know.
