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 musicalinstrument. 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 andmaintaining 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 thekeys 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. The structureof the music has not been altered. Composers include: Mozart Beethoven Haydn Praetorius Corrette Mozart Händel Bach Hook Lully Boismortier Schumann Rameau Saint-Saëns Purcell and Martini. The piano accompaniment isavailable as a free download.
