Description
Performance Notes from Andrew Duncan:
The main feature of this arrangement is perhaps the wide range of dynamics used. Every dynamic from p through to ff is written and if played will, greatly enhance a performance of the piece.
The distinctive style of the piece is also an important element for the players to embrace. Although the original rhythm has been simplified to facilitate ability, it has retained the intended ‘feel’ of the bravado style and offers a useful development of the players’ musical awareness.
