Performance Notes

Galop should be played as fast as is comfortable. The 1½/2 bar is simply a cut time 3/4 bar. At bar ll the trombonist can give the cut-off and downbeat in one gesture, setting the tempo with its half notes.  The downbeat of bar 22 should be reached without hesitation.  The trumpets should begin their held notes after a slight pause and add the trill gradually.  Once again, the trombonist can give the cut-off and the downbeat of bar 25 simultaneously. There should be a moment of silence before bar 40 and the Tuba can set an uncomfortably fast tempo for the final upward run.  The last few notes are to be chosen by the performers.  They should be as high or low as possible as indicated but should be loud and brassy as well.

Precision and accuracy should be stressed and the tempo should be consistent. However, the volume should border on harshness.
