   Schickele does indeed tour; he's been in Boston at least 4 times in the past
six years (once with the Pops, doing the Schleptet; once with the Harvard band,
doing a specially-discovered piece (the Serenoodle for Northerly Winds and
Percussion) and twice at MIT (once in the chamber version (w/ just Ferrante
and David Oue(?sp?), doing the Abassoonata, the Erotica variations, and
"Hansel and Gretel and Ted and Alice"; once with the MIT Symphony, doing
a number of new pieces and "New Horizons in Music Appreciation" (where
his choice of a name for the penalized hornist, some twelve years back,
turned out to be fortuitous; the MIT first horn is a woman and something
less ambiguous than "Bobby Corno" would have required a script change))).
   He is even better live than on the records---for one thing, he always
makes a spectacular entrance.
   Unfortunately, I don't know anything of his schedule (he was last in
Boston quite recently, so I expect he won't be \here/ for a while); I
believe he's booked through a New York City agency that you should
be able to call or write (they may even have branch offices).
