Comments:

 

Quasi Presto  rather untidy start but it settles—it is so important to have a good start.

 

Mozart’s theme  nicely played—little problems with intonation but on the while effective.

 

[F]  Good sound, basses rather heavy but it moves nicely into Var. 3 all well played through this section - intonation still needs care.

 

[G]  Well done soprano, horn & flugel—all very effective.  Var. 5 good trombones and it moves well into Var. 6 well played.  Var. 7 good light sounds to this music. [L]  I like this.  Var. 8 well done EEb Bass, good top C.

 

Presto  a real PPP !  [N] I like this!  Just the right feel into Scena but then problems with intonation.  [Q] good soloists, solo cornet & euph both do well.

 

Notturno nice feel to this through [T] all very musical to [U].

 

Finale  good tempo and style but resist the temptation to play as loud as possible keep a little in reserve.

 

A good performance on the whole—soloists do well and the conductor knows what the piece is about - well done everyone.
