Solo Für Trompeten. Par HUTTER ERNST. Dieses Bravourstück komponierte Ernst Hutter für seine vier Solotrompeter. Am Ende eines ruhigen, sehr melodiösen ersten Teiles schrauben sich die ersten beiden Solopartien in einer Solokadenz gewissermaßen wie Sterne in den klaren Himmel hinauf, unterstützt durch volle Akkorde des gesamten Blasorchesters. Nach einem Tempowechsel des Schlagzeugs bereitet das gesamte Orchester in bigbandartiger Manier den Boden für einen zweiten Teil, in dem die weiteren Soloparts der Trompeten virtuos brillieren. Ganz bewusst legte Ernst Hutter das Arrangement so an, dass vier Solotrompeter - die Trompetensterne - das Stück mit strahlendem Klang beenden. Das gesamte Blasorchester sorgtmit viel Tempo und Energie dafür, dass diese Komposition zu einem Highlight eines jeden Konzertprogrammes wird. Die fett gedruckten Stimmen in der Partitur entsprechen der Originalbesetzung von Ernst Hutter & Die Egerländer Musikanten. Das Werk ist bereits in dieser Besetzung spielbar. Um auch Blasorchestern die Möglichkeit zu bieten, dieses Werk zu spielen, sind in dieser Ausgabe weitere Stimmen zur Vervollständigung der Blasorchester-Besetzung mitgeliefert.
