Compo
ser Otto M. Schwarz
completed his first
Concerto for trumpet in
October 2009. Schwarz
displays a special knack
in writing for this
instrument, thanks to his
trumpet studies
undertaken with Professor
Josef Pomberger at the
Music Conservatory in
Vienna. Concerto for
Trumpet No. 1 'Trumpet
Town' was commissioned by
the police-orchestra of
Upper Austria, under the
baton of Andreas
Schwarzenlander. The work
was premiered on 17
November 2009. The
soloist for the evening
was trumpeter Franz
Wagnermeyer, who also
studied at the Vienna
Conservatory and who
currently performs with,
amongst others, the
international group
“Ten of the
Bestâ€. A rapid
flourish in 12/8 time
opens Concerto for
Trumpet No. 1 'Trumpet
Town'. The metric changes
that follow affect the
pulse rhythmically and
melodically, in exciting
and unexpected ways. The
solo trumpet's displays
of technical prowess and
bravura alternate with
the film-score-like tutti
sections of the brass
ensemble. The slow,
almost elegiac, central
section can be performed
on the flugel horn, while
the closing reprise
demands that both the
soloist and the orchestra
give of their best as the
piece comes to an
exciting, colourful, and
uplifting finale. This
piece is also available
for trumpet and
piano.
