Having played with bands at all levels for some considerable years, I have to admit my desire for Contesting.
It serves many purposes as a training tool, but although it has down sides, the good very much outweigh the bad.
I just wondered what would be your idea of the 'perfect' Test Piece and the 'hardest' Test Piece to play.
My personal likes are span all sections and periods of writing, but I am intrigued to hear your thoughts.
Pieces such as Life Devine, Essence of Time, Masquerade, Whitsun Wakes and quite a few of the Eric Ball pieces figure highly, although I believe that Odin (Butterworth) is supremely difficult.
Cheers
