An acessible and enjoyable Sonatina by Philip White for Trumpet with Piano accompaniment. 'Philip White's Sonatina is a welcome addition to the Trumpet repertoire. Challenging yet not over-demanding this is an ideal work for the enterprising trumpeter who wants to display a range of skills. Stylistically accessible this is a piece for all audiences. I encourage all my students to play it.'  - Professor James Watson

Trumpet And Piano-Trumpet with piano accompaniment or play-along with the backing CD. On the CD each piece appears twice first with and then without the solo line. Here are tunes and melodies that have not just been churned out but have real character and charm. Contained within the eight tunes are a lovely variety of moods tempos styles and time signatures. The music more than depicts the various aspects of circus life which their title suggests. Simply written but so effective they really do help the pupil and teacher in learning the basics of dynamics. Grades 3-5.

Trumpet parts in both B flat and E flat simplified piano part and a free CD including piano backing tracks and orchestral performance extracts.Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837) composed this concerto in 1803 for the keyed trumpet which had been developed by Anton Weidinger (1767-1852). Weidinger gave its first performance on New Year's Day 1804. Originally composed in the key of E it is more commonly played in Eb. The keyed trumpet was the first type of trumpet which could play chromatically but the invention was not a huge success: it suffered from a poor quality of sound. In the early 19th century the invention of the valve rendered the keyed trumpetobsolete.This edition is intended to be more user-friendly than the others currently available: there is a much easier (and dare I say more stylistic) piano accompaniment - any doubling of the solo part has been removed voicing simplified and my premise has been to imagine what it might have been before it was orchestrated rather than trying to cram in every last piece of orchestral detail.Suggested cuts in the piano part have been indicated giving a short introduction to each movement perfect for auditions recitals or exams. However the bar numbers still tally with the longer original versions which are included should they be required. The dynamics and articulation which I have added incorporate the weight of opinion in current editions and recordings offering more guidance than 'scholarly' editions without being overprescriptive.There is an appendix with suggested interpretation of trills and ornaments. Listening to as many different recordings as possible is the best way to assimilate good trills.The accompanying CD provides piano accompaniments and observes the suggested cuts. See page 38 for full track listing. There is free software available online (eg. speedshifter on the ABRSM website) which enables you to change the speed of a CD should you wish to practise slower or indeed faster.The Hummel
