My good friend Martin Britt, soprano cornet player extraordinaire of the Desford Band, has sent me the attached mp3 for anyone to download and admire.
The piece is the Gigue from one of J.S Bach's Partitas for solo violin.
Playing stuff like this on any brass instrument is really tough, and Martin handles the piece with his usual consummate ease - nice one Martin!
Martin is travelling to New Zealand this weekend to play with the Northshore Brass Band at the New Zealand National Championships. We (us at Desford) wish the band the best of luck for their performances - as for Martin, we won't be happy unless he wins the "Best Soprano Player" prize!

Fab bit of sop! I went to JGSMD with Martin (who was a bit of a star) so it's cool to hear he's still tooting so successfully! - Jaqui Wisener
