William Relton

Opening tune, well balanced B a bit 'laid back' in cornet, 2 before E cornets miss pitch, nice bell effect before F, G bar 4 more trom, accel euph miss pitches, allargando nice cornets.  Utrecht: Smooth start well tuned A bar trom tuner please B nice swing D good.  3 before E cornet well geared MF.  E a bit of tuning here, stylish solo cornet to end.  Zutphen: Bar 7 things not absolutely correct - A is very neat, great 8 bar rhythm 4 before B in baritones.  B a delightful p 3 before vivace needs right scales good and appropriate end.  I felt that you understood the music, a bit more care in tuning and individual responsibility would pay handsomely.
