I also notice the Battle Scene tempos on my European recordings are quite a bit slower and deliberate than my American recordings. It is just a few clicks, but it makes a different impact. Any opinions? |
There's no rule that says you can't switch to a C trpt for the E transposition - that's what I do. Bb on the rest. We've got the tools. Might as well use 'em.
