Technical execution was good for the most part but when trading off runs between the instruments, there were times when it was painfully obvious when each one was playing (most of it happened with the tenor accenting every attack). If you were to go through and match each of the runs between the instruments it would improve this piece tenfold and it would be a damn shame to have good technical execution undermined by something that simple.
Well, actually, when we looked at this again, two of four of us only had 2 weeks to prepare...and the others hadn't looked at it in quite some time. We still ran it faster, with less glitches...swansony can attest to this
this sounds too much like the caprice - very good job though. your playing was very impressive. i was looking around for ensembles and this one caught my eye. i looked here for recordings, and sure enough there was one. thanks a lot for postins this. i might get this.

I agree, great execution. I would just say work on those swells and the rest of the dynamics. I love playing this piece.

The Nofziger Saxophone Quartet plays this better.

Very nice job. The quartet has a very balanced sound and the execution was great.
