Jonathan,
Thanks for replying.

It's certainly not the first time. The last I can remember was Sounds which
happily reminds me at our European win with WIllebroek in Plymouth 1993. Sounds
was the test-piece. It had a quiet ending and John Golland was forced (on an
earlier occasion) to add an impressive end with a big note at the end. Silly
philosophy although the end was ok, the addition was ok also  as is the whole
piece.
John Golland was a fine composer and a pitty we lost him to early.

There will be certainly more examples. I think adding a part is never a good
thing. It looks often as lipstick on a pig.

Interesting to hear comments on this test piece. My main query is why a
piece which is already written and available, has been subsequently amended
and lengthened as a test piece. In effect, to copies of the same piece by
the same composer will be available but one about 2/3 minutes longer than
the original, with new scoring.

Is this the first time an existing piece has been amended in this way for
contesting purposes?
