“Bohu
slav Martinu (1890-1959)
was a prolific Czech
composer, writing many
large scale works. The
composer moved to Paris
in 1923 where he began
experimenting in a
variety of composition
styles. Sonatine for
Trumpet and Piano was
composed in 1957 and is
adaptable to both the B
flat and C Trumpet.
Martinu himself was a
violinist but he liked to
experiment and the
mid-1950s saw him move to
Nice in France, where he
began writing Sonatas for
wind and brass. Sonatine
for Trumpet exemplifies
the composer's influence
of Stravinsky, Debussy
and jazz music. The piece
is excitingly virtuosic
in its use of flutter
tonguing, complex
rhythms, chromaticism,
and ensemble between the
Trumpet and Piano. As a
varied, substantial work
for the Trumpet
repertoire, Martinu's
Sonatine is essential to
the advanced
trumpeter.&rdquo.
