John Davison's Sonata for Trumpet and Piano (1990) is a dynamic, lyrical, brilliant and heartfelt work written for Trumpet in B-flat and Piano. It is in the traditional three-movement Fast-Slow-Fast format with the piano part playing an integral role.

Movement 1, Allegro non troppo is melodic and rhythmic with a bouncy syncopated style.

Movement 2, Andantino has lyrical and tender moments, and also a haunting muted section.

Movement 3, Allegro is in multi-meter, full of dance-like, rhythmic and syncopated sections.

The 16 minute work is appropriate for advanced performers and can be the major work on a recital.

The sample track is performed brilliantly by Terry Everson, Trumpet and Susan Nowicki, Piano.
