I love Hoover's works! What exactly do you want to know about Kokopeli?

My best advice is to just go for it. This piece is one of many that each player adds something distinctive to the music. Try to break down the tricky passages, but don't get too caught up in technique to the point that you are too mechanical about it. Playing a few lines at a time and really listening will help as well, especially if you have heard it or have a recording of it. I will try to download my performance of it if you are interested.
