Barshai’s version is inspired primarily by Cooke’s but the orchestration (including guitar, 2 xylophones, tenor horn) is expanded, and many notes and harmonies are no longer “corrected,” as Barshai explains.

Will Barry participate in the orchestra?

Talking of M10, I know that Benjamin Zander is doing the first movement of it with the top tier of NEC preparatory orchestra a few days from now in Boston.
Barshai's instrumentation sounds interesting...

 Obviously, I would very much like to go hear the performance, but I'll be working in Berkeley that weekend instead. I played in the Redwood S.O. for over 10 years. But now, however, I work seven days per week, and still can't cover ALL of my expenses. That's life.
