Re: Waltz For Concert Band

For now, I only have one additional statement to make on this, and that's in response to everything being in the same key. Some composers prefer to compose in one key, while some are like me and can or choose to compose throughout the score in the transposed keys. With the advent of "display concert pitch" in most notation software out there, composers can write the score in concert pitch, and then adjust upon completion (after switching the display back to transposed pitch) to fit correctly. That's probably what was going on here. For some people it's just easier to compose this way.

Just to clarify, I didn't mean "one of two ways". Both of the above are used in usual Concert Band repertoire.
