William Primrose learned , after years of perform ing the Concerto with his own " , and other OCtaVISatiOnS « · 1mprovemen ts, , that Walton really preferred the solo the way he had written it! Primrose is quoted: "For thirty fi ve years I pursued my way...all this time wirh nary a peep of proresr from the com poser.
