Can't really dissagree with Mark on this one it is a great piece to play and
to listen to. For once it has a decent bass part as well. But surely
differing styles is not our only criteria for rating a test piece. There are
some dramatic, moving pieces that have little if any major style changes that
I would certainly rate as 1st class tests for bands. I would suggest Lloyd's
'Diversions on a Bass Theme' and Simpson's 'Volcano' fit this catagory
rather well. Comments please if you feel inclined.
