Is the tradition of the NPS tied up only in the virtuoso solo playing
of a very limited number of recorded pieces
or is it also in the evolution of the musical repetoire and the
individual interpretation of that music

I have had a scan of Peacock's collection and their are very specific
performance markings
including some staccato direction in "My Ain Kind Dearie" and
"Meggy's Foot", and
there are also fair amount of slurs in "My Ain"...inconsistent with
completely detatched playing,
This would suggest
When I refer to the gracing direction, I am refering to the updated
edition.
I'm looking for specific grace direction in Northumbrian tunes.

Maybe a modern cor anglais is going to be louder than northumbrian

Are we going to then confine tunes that are considered passe to the

just because they are considered not suitable for modern tastes...or

If anyone is interested I have posted a video on You Tube which is
'part one' of reed making by Colin Ross.
I will post the remaining parts every couple of weeks.
This is purely educational & NOT a business venture, so I didn't
think it was a problem to post this.
The link to view is below.
I have had a fair amount of interest so I will post part 2 and will
try and get the other parts on when I can.

Chris,
The lack of 'improvisation' runs inline with the omnipotence of the
composer and bigger orchestras in Romantic period. Hard to improvise
in this context!
But is this really decline, or the 'rot set(ting) in'???
