Hi Tom, I cannot agree with you there.Having rehearsed and performed both
Isaiah and On Alderley Edge they are much harder than Odyssey. I don't mind
Odyssey as a piece but it needs more extended quiet slow playing to be a
real test - there is only the one short section around the cornet solo.
Still, no such thing as an easy piece.
