People may be interested to know that I vounteered to create the orchestral parts for the Varkonyi Symphony in c minor after reading an interview of Maestro Jarvi in BBC Music magazine several years ago (he expressed his interest in performing this work, calling it an unknown masterpiece, but he stated that he had only a manuscript score and no parts).  These were completed and sent to him, but so far no performance or recording has occurred.  I don't doubt his good intentions, but I must confess that after being told that initially that the Residentie Orchestra of The Hague, and later the Estonian National Symphony were going to record it (the latter supposedly in February 2014, but with no mention of it on their website), I have learned not to hold my breath, and I am somewhat disappointed after all the hours spent formatting the parts.  Perhaps it might still happen, and I do feel the work deserves a hearing.  I was glad to read that there are a few others interested in Varkonyi's music.
