André Jolivet (1905-1974) established his love for composition from a young age. This remained throughout his life and he held the post of Professor of Composition from 1966-1970 at Paris Conservatoire. Concerto No. 2 for Trumpet was composed in 1955 and remains highly regarded. Jolivet himself a cellist wished to explore composition for all instruments and therefore has a considerable number of works in all fields. The composer's style is also known for its spirituality and the desire to associate the everyday with the magical and the human with the universal. Jolivet draws on acoustics andatonality as heard in Concerto No. 2 for Trumpet. The piece requires high virtuosic skills due to its expansive use of extended techniques. For all advanced trumpeters Jolivet provides an exciting different piece for the instrument's repertoire.

Par FAURE GABRIEL. The Trumpet?s powers of expression are not limited to the pompous accents and ringing tones of the Triumphal March of Verdi?s Aida. To all doubters, we strongly recommend opening Volume 2 ofMélodies Et Pièces Diverses by Gabriel Fauré, transcribed for Trumpet and Piano by internationally acclaimed soloist Guy Touvron. In this volume,gentleness and express­iveness prevail. With its slow tempo and dolce opening indication, the well-known melody Après un rêve floats a legato song that goes straight to the heart, asdoesTristesse with its fluid, subtle melodic gesture. While Le Papillon et la Fleur still bow to the aesthetics of the romance, the Absent (also based on Hugo?s verse) erects a vast dramaticnarrative with very simple means. Au Cimetière completes this selection of melodies that is enhanced by two originally instrumental pieces, the Berceuse Op. 16 for Violin and Piano and the Romance sansparoles No. 3 for Piano. Faithful to the Faurian spirit as defined by Jankelevitch, these transcriptions ?whisper into the ear of those who deserve to hear?. / Date parution : 2022-02-26/ Recueil / Trompette et Piano

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.

20 Progressive pieces with Piano Accompaniment-Philip Sparke’s Skilful Solos is the second volume of a progressive series of solo books that takes the young wind player from beginner to accomplished musician. Following on from the first book in the series Starter Solos this collection generally contains longer pieces suitable for the developing young musician.Specifically tailored for each instrument Skilful Solos introduces the concept of phrasing by suggesting suitable breathing points and takes the player into new keys with extended instrumental ranges new notes being introduced in a gradual and logical manner. Skilful Solos comes with a play-along CD.The advantages of playing either with Piano or CD accompaniment are that the beginning player can now experience the important aspects of ensemble playing from their earliest lessons thus developing the essential skills of listening while they play and maintaining strict tempo which is not always achieved when playing alone.

This edition is more user-friendly than the others currently available. The accompanying CD provides piano accompaniments as well as samples from recordings of the Neruda Haydn and Hummell concerti with kind permission of Hyperion Records and Crispian Steele-Perkins.J.G.B. Neruda (1711-1780) was typical of 18th century musicians travelling and studying in various parts of Eastern Europe and finally settling in Dresden (1750-1780) in the Electoral (chapel) orchestra where he was salaried as a violinist and occasional composer. This concerto was originally composed for a Corno da Caccia (hunting horn) presumed to be something of a hybrid between the natural hornand natural trumpet but has been borrowed by modern trumpet players and is now firmly fixed in the Classical trumpet repertoire.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 have been indicated which give 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 over-prescriptive. There is an appendix with suggested interpretation of trills. 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 23 for full track listing. There is free software available online (eg. speedshifter on the ABRSM

Suited to advanced level trumpeters and cornetists Bitsch's Four Variations on a Theme by Domenico Scarlatti includes a variety of technical aspects as well as sublime musicality. In his latteryears Bitsch dedicated himself to the analysis of music by the Baroque masters. It is clear that his inspiration for Four Variations on a Theme by Domenico Scarlatti comes from his passion for and interest in the era. The variety of this exciting Bitsch piece is outstanding creating a necessary inspiring addition to the Trumpet and Cornet repertoire.

French composer and conductor Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) published Variations Grégoriennes Sur Un Salve Regina 1964. As with his other wind compositions Gregorian Variations for Trumpet and String Orchestra and Organ reduction was well-received by audiences. Tomasi was born in Marseille but his Father and Mother were originally from La Casinca in Corsica. Despite being pressured in to musical studies by his parents Tomasi dreamed of becoming a sailor and during the summer he stayed with his Grandmother in Corsica where he learnt traditional Corsican songs. However in1921 he began his studies at the Paris Conservatoire and went on to become a high profile composer and conductor. Tomasi did not forget his Corsican routes often incorporating themes of the songs he had learnt during the summers with his Grandmother into his compositions. Variations Grégoriennes Sur Un Salve Regina is a highly unusual and modern work based on an old Marian Hymn (a song for the Virgin Mary). The variations exploit tonality rhythm and structure amongst other aspects. This Tomasi piece is suitable for advanced trumpeters providing an exciting alternative addition to the instrument's repertoire.

After hearing Castérède's Sonatina for Trumpet and Piano the realisation that his music remains in the shadows of his French contemporaries is one that is hard to fathom. Should you be a fan of Messiaen then Castérède's Sonatina is one for you.

From the lively harmonically rich first movement to the luscious melodies of the second this Sonatina provides an enjoyable listen and fun piece to learn for all trumpeters.
