Really not too difficult at all. Much like the Jager Concerto, I just don't care for it. Unfortunantly, so many people think that just because a piece of music is difficult or is written by a popular composer that it must be a great piece of music. If more people would to talk to real composers, they would relieze that composers even admit sometimes they miss the mark. I will bet that the Williams Concerto does not become a standard of chamber music. Remember that music does not have to be difficult to be great. Just my thoughts.
p.s. The Hindemith is difficult but is a great work and not because it was written for tuba. It would a great piece of music for any instrument. I think we look and hope for great music to be written for our instrument that many times we over look the actual musical content of the work.
