Dr. J (Pi) Scheffer was the leader of the famous Dutch AVRO Radio Big Band ‘The Skymasters' in the 50's, as well as also being an English teacher. He also had a huge success with his composition for wind band ‘Three Inventions', not only in Europe but also in the USA. At the time of publication (1971) there was no promotion with sound sample of this work, so for this reason now Molenaar Edition has a complete new score and parts available in their ‘Creative Compositions' © series. The work is in the movements. ‘Flippant', ‘Whimsical' and ‘Sorta Mixed Up'. A recent edition of the American magazine publication ‘The School Musician' even compared Scheffer with Leonard Bernstein.
