Comments:

 

Untidy start and a bit hard in the ff but some great details.

 

Some intonation problems around b.54 probably due to mutes.

 

Scherzo quite fast but you handle it well.  Good transition into Cafe Life.  Some great sounds in the middle of the band good sop at [G].

 

Nice phrasing Var. 4 if a little loud.

 

Var. 5 excellent.  Var. 6 fast and we lost some detail.  Var. 7 just right, super tempo and great transition into bass solo!  Unlucky sop (b.230)

 

S.D. Nimble as it should be - This has great character - a real Viennese Gallop.

 

Scena - good atmosphere [Q] not comfortable in ppp.  Excellent baritone - good cornet - very good euph.

 

Notturno - good duets throughout .

 

Great build to [W].

 

Turkish Rondo - breathless & barbaric - great stuff a real grandstand finish.

 

Super performance - so well directed and performed - Thank you
