Great performers have proven that the trumpet can be successfully used for playing not only classic music, but also symphonic or chamber music from the classical, romantic or modern period just as well as any other musical instrument. No longer is contemporary repertoire considered unfit for the trumpet. Every sincere instrumentalist needs a regular study program. A daily practice of technical exercises and etudes is necessary for improving and maintaining the desired results. Regularly playing works of music should be the aim of every musician, amateur as well as professional. The best keys have been carefully chosen for trumpet and therefore many songs are not in the keys in which they were originally written. Also a number of other adaptations have been introduced to make the music more suitable for performance on the trumpet in B-flat. Composers include: Bach, Brahms, Chopin, Chedeville, Von Weber, Vivaldi, Geminiani, Mozart, Corelli, Bigaglia, Purcell, Clarke, Schubert, Händel, Lavigne, Grieg, Haydn, Dvorák, Saint-Saëns, and Fauré. The piano accompaniment is available as a free download. / Trompette / 48 pages / niveau : Débutant/Intermédiaire / Partition - Format: 11 X 8,5

The fullperformance track is provided to help the player to the learn the melody and its interaction with the accompaniment; the melody is played on a marimba to avoid dominating the acoustic ‘live’ instrument for those players who choose to play along with this version of the backing.
