Yes, this is the ORIGINAL 1982 recording of this piece (United States Air Force Band). Yes, it was written as “revenge,” since the Principal Horn player, Sgt. Johnny Woody, beat Smith for 1st chair in the University of Kansas band. The cadenzas were for personal friends of the composer. I met Dr. Smith in 1985, and he told me all of this. What a kind gentleman! Incidentally, the college premiere was given the next year, and I was in that band! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJCxYpKJiJp0Z8ksi=ds0haUxTWhdrX6Od
