CAMPTOWN VARIATIONS IS IN THE TRADITIONAL THEME AND VARIATION FORM. AFTER A BRIEF INTRODUCTION, THE THEME IS LED BY THE 1ST TRUMPET AND FOLLOWED BY THE FULL ENSEMBLE. VARIATION 1 (M.42) IS LIGHT IN CHARACTER AND SHOULD BE PLAYED STACCATO. VARIATION 2 (M.61) SHOULD BE HEAVIER. VARIATION 3 (M.78) SHOULD BE PLAYED AS A WALTZ, WITH EMPHASIS ON THE SOLO FLUTE AND TRUMPET. VARIATION 4 SHOULD BE PLAYED EXPRESSIVELY WITH A SMOOTH LEGATO UNTIL A CLIMAX BUILDS AT M.147. FINALLY, VARIATION 5 BEGINS WITH A ROBUST FANFARE WHICH LEADS INTO A FUGUE AT M.156. THE THEME OF THE FUGUE SHOULD ALWAYS BE CLEARLY AUDIBLE.
