As I recall, he dedicated his performance to a British Scholar and Horn Player (???Reginald Night? - sorry I can't remember the exact name?) who had recently passed away. The man had researched and published a lot of material on the natural horn..... So Barry performed the Villanelle on his Holton without using the valves and the shattered high C at the end was a shocking conclusion to an incredibly beautiful and technically perfect performance. I was fortunate enough to get into a Master Class with Mr. Tuckwell 5 or 6 years later in Stratford, Canada. Mr. Tuckwell was a complete joy to work with. When HE brought up the Villanelle incident, he explained that he felt he had finished the hard part of the piece, and had relaxed his concentration for an instant at what he considered a routine bit! He was guest artist with our Orchestra years later, and he not only remembered me by name - but also had news of almost everyone else at the workshop..... A great gentleman, and wonderful player!
