(Suitable for advanced players).'In Early November 2005 my family and some friends visited thehigh Sierra Nevada in Northern California. As on former trips to the area I was struck by the strange and disarming contrast between the bright sunshine perfect blue sky and warm mountain air of the Sierran autumn; and theoccasional icy chill - sudden drops of temperature when the sun vanished behind the mountains momentary glimpses through the trees of distant snow clouds over the highest peaks. Nowhere was this dichotomy more apparent than inthe vast area of forests lakes and mountains known as Desolation Wilderness. Here the twisted shapes of the aspens are testament to the destructive power of winter. Sure enough that night the first snows fell and the highmountain passes we'd just crossed were closed till spring.

Eugène Bozza's Caprice is an exciting addition to the trumpeter's repertoire. Exploiting the instrument's potential to its full capacity Caprice is ideal performance repertoire. Born in Nice Bozza (1905-1991) went on to study at the Paris Conservatoire winning prizes for the violin conducting and composition as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. His capability clearly comes across in his Caprice for Trumpet and Piano through thrilling semiquaver flourishes and energetic scalic descents beautifully contrasted by expressive lento passages. Bozza'sCaprice is essential to all advanced trumpeter's repertoire.
