Dear list,
I'm not really complaining because I know what a tremendous effort
it is to organise even a small local event let alone a national event on the
scale of the National championships at the RAH, but (yes there's always a
but) the choices of test pieces seems, to me, an opportunity missed. With
this being a new millennium pieces could have been selected to reflect the
19th, 20th and 21st centuries with some of the great 'old' pieces from past
finals for the lower sections and to give the 1st and championship new
compositions to show the future.
I will be with a band playing Abstractions which, according to my
dictionary, means 'absence of mind'. After the first run-through (and I
know it is early to judge) 'absence of music' would better describe it.
