The mournful trumpet solo points toward the theme music from "The Godfather".

(The relative weakness of the solo sections underlines this point, perhaps unintentionally).
At one point, the solo instrument has to imitate a Mongolian two‑string fiddle; elsewhere it's pushed up into rarefied registers that it never usually inhabits; the soloist, the RCO's principal double bass, Dominic Seldis, takes this all very comfortably in his stride.
I'm now one third of the way through this 60 day challenge, but perhaps of more immediate importance, it marks the half way point to the solo occupation record of 40 days, set almost 30 years ago by Tom McClean in 1985.
Ringo Starr, who had quit the band briefly during the White Album sessions, partly as a result of McCartney's hectoring of his drumming, recalled of Harrison's refusal to be "dominated" by McCartney any longer: "Paul [typically] wanted to point out the solo to George, who would say, 'Look, I'm a guitarist.
" 'Momma's lettin' loose.... Momma's got the stuff/ Momma's got to move' -- all of these exclamation points enter into the solo that I'm playing".
In the pas de deux, the ballerina has a solo on point with both legs held straight; she looks doll-like.
Appreciate the solo artist.
