The Hillcrest Wind Ensemble performed a band arrangement of this at a recent concert. It was my last concert with them after 39 years. Since I'm moving to Spain I left the group. Bittersweet concert for me.

The piece is extremely difficult. Not technically but the phrasing and muted dynamics make it very hard for a wind band to play.
