I love this song and page. I play calrinet and alto sax but because i am now in an appartment I can not practice them. The recorder gives me similar practice as the clarinet so that is what i now play as well as a electric piano(synthisizer). I have been looking for recorder music for a long time with no success until. Thank you so much
