| Comments: |
-
Timpani part requires an alert player (pitch changes measures
22 and 35)
-
Be careful not to overdramatize heavy accented notes
-
1st solo cornet and 1st trumpet hit g1 nine and seven times
respctively in the piece (fatigue could be a factor)
-
Soli in cornets and trumpets in measure 58 and again in measure
94
-
Cornets and Trumpets use straight mutes in measure 58
-
Flute part is 8va from measure 7 - 13
-
First 'chorale' section has numerous accidentals
-
Percussion acts in strict 'batterie' fashion (percussion
is active but mundane)
-
Four different French Horn parts
-
Musical tempi include: Moderato, Bravura, and Allegro Moderato
