Category E - Excellent performance with commendable artistic and technical control
2nd place
This was a such a stylish and virtuosio performance, full of colour and with great articulation.
You have a real understanding for the orchestral textures and I always felt that I was listening to fifty players!
(Accompanying figures were sometimes a little lightweight - so something to consider)
Bravo!

So we never forget.
Ethan's entry to the RNIB World War One Centenary Composition
Competition. He played the 5 parts individually on Catherine's digital
piano and she converted it into 5 scores. We then ran these scores back
through the voice generator to produce the 4 voices (Soprano Alto Tenor
Bass) and added the digital piano score back in. Many thanks to
Catherine who spent a lot of time doing the arrangements.
