There are two known manuscript sources for the present edition of this sinfonia avanti l'opera. In the Dean and Chapter Library of Durham Cathedral it appears as the twelfth, and last, piece in a collection of late seventeenth-century Italian instrumental music. No composer is given and identification was only possible following the discovery, in 1993, of a concordant source in the Biblioteca Estense, Modena, where the work appears as the sinfonia to Perti's opera L'Inganno scoperto per Vendetta, first performed in Venice as part of the 1690/1 season.It is sometimes hard to ascertain the original functional purpose behind many of the trumpet works written by composers of the Bolognese school as it would appear that some were used as sonate da chiesa, to celebrate mass in the basilica of San Petronio, Bologna, whilst also serving as operatic sinfonie. To confuse the issue further, there are several instances of composers 'borrowing' each other's works: for example, it has recently been discovered that the Torelli trumpet sinfonia a 4 catalogued as G4 in Giegling was used as the overture to Perti's opera Nerone fatto Cesare (1693). So far as the present edition is concerned, however, stylistic considerations would appear to confirm that the work is indeed by Perti and that it was originally conceived as the overture to L'Inganno scoperto per Vendetta. A couple of clues hint at a secular raison d'etre: the Durham source is marked Serenatto (presumably a corruption of serenata, a term often used in lieu of sinfonia) and the last movement of the Modena source is marked Menuet, a term more often associated with sonate da camera than with works of ecclesiastical provenance.Both the Modena and Durham sources for the present edition are virtually note-perfect and occasional inaccuracies were easily corrected by comparing the sources with each other and with the part-books in Durham. Whilst the Modena source lacks the second violin part in the outer movements it contains fuller dynamic markings and tempi indications than the Durham source and these have been followed in the present edition with no editorial additions. Notation has been modernised and, in the piano reduction edition, right-hand arpeggio-figurations rendered more pianistic. Parts are provided for trumpet in D and B flat. I am grateful to the Dean and Chapter of Durham and to the Biblioteca Estense, Modena, for providing microfilm of the manuscripts. I should also record my thanks to Keith Wright for realising the figured-bass which appears in the full-score edition.Mark Latham, Brancepeth Castle, June 1997.

Of all the hundreds of melodies composed by Franz Schubert, Serenade or Standchen stands out as one of the most sublime.

It is appropriate for intermediate level performers.

Composed for the Paris Conservatoire contest, Mobiles is a work for Trumpet and Piano by Jeanine Rueff. Rated as difficult, this piece is really interesting for the players as it helps them to focus on different areas of the technique that are necessary to pass the contest. Lasting seven minutes, this piece starts slowly on two measures to open on a cadenza. Followed by a more flexible part, it gets quicker with a Presto and a part Staccato. The sourdine is often used through the piece which also features many accidentals. Jeanine Rueff composed numerous pieces for Saxophones often used in contests, as well as many pieces for Saxhorn, Clarinet, Horn and Cornet..

Game Over for trumpet (optionally cornet or flugelhorn) with piano accompaniment is a lively composition with a playful character. The range of the solo part is limited to one and a half octaves, making Game Over an ideal performance or test piece for young musicians. The composition is further enhanced by the rhythmically appealing piano accompaniment. The work was written by Jan Hadermann as an optional piece for his grandson’s trumpet exam, to whom Game Over is also dedicated.

Game Over voor trompet (optioneel kornet of bugel) en pianobegeleiding is een compositie met een levendig, speels karakter. De omvang van de solopartij is beperkt tot anderhalf octaaf, waarmee Game Over voor jonge muzikanten een ideaal stuk is om tijdens een uitvoering of op een examen te spelen. De aantrekkelijke ritmische pianobegeleiding biedt daarbij de nodige ondersteuning. Jan Hadermann schreef Game Over als keuzewerk voor het trompetexamen van zijn kleinzoon, en droeg het tevens aan hem op.

Game Over für Trompete (wahlweise Kornett oder Flügelhorn) und Klavierbegleitung ist eine Komposition von lebhaftem, spielerischem Charakter. Der Solopart umfasst nur einen relativ begrenzten Tonumfang von anderthalb Oktaven: dadurch ist Game Over ein ideales Vortrags- oder Prüfungsstück für junge Musiker, dessen Wirkung durch die rhythmisch attraktive Klavierbegleitung noch unterstützt wird. Jan Hadermann komponierte das Werk als Wahlstück für das Trompetenexamen seines Enkels, dem es auch gewidmet ist.

Game Over pour trompette (ou pour cornet ou bugle) et accompagnement de piano est une composition de caractère vif et enjoué. La partie solo présente une étendue relativement limitée d’une octave et demie. C’est pourquoi Game Over est une pièce particulièrement adaptée aux jeunes élèves, jouer en audition ou comme répertoire d’examen. Son effet est encore rehaussé par un accompagnement de piano rythmique et attractif. Jan Hadermann a écrit cette œuvre en guise de pièce au choix pour l’examen de trompette de son petit-fils qui en est aussi le dédicataire.

If there was ever a composer in the modern era from whom instrumentalists would hanker for a sonata or concerto, Richard Strauss must be right up there. His wide-ranging orchestral and operatic creations bleed with gloriously idiomatic writing for every instrument, and yet only the piano, violin, clarinet (in tandem with the bassoon), oboe and horn can really claim to have bespoke solo works from the composer's seamlessly productive pen, and collectively they form only a small proportion of the composer's output. No mere transcription, this three-movement Sonata after Richard Strauss extends well beyond a redeployment of the composer's music to fit a new idiom, filling the gaping chasm of 'serious' late-Romantic recital material for trumpet players, to be performed in toto or as Drei Konzertstücke. Thomas Oehler and Jonathan Freeman-Attwood have drawn on a wide range of Strauss's works to create the new offering, including the Violin Sonata, Von den Hinterweltlern (Also sprach Zarathustra), the Serenade for Winds ('From an invalid's workshop') and Zerbinetta's Aria (Ariadne auf Naxos).
