In March 1931 Bush and Nancy were married in London, before returning to Germany where Bush continued his studies. In April a BBC broadcast performance of his Dance Overture for Military Band, Op. 12a, received a mixed reception. Nancy Bush quotes two listeners' comments that appeared in the "Radio Times" on 8 May 1931. One thought that "such a medley of fearful discords could never be called music", while another opined that " should not cry for more Mozart, Haydn or Beethoven if modern composers would all give us sheer beauty like this".
