Description
(Curnow Play-Along Book). Grades 3 – 6 These short concert etudes for trumpet were composed especially for Philip Smith, Principal Trumpet of the New York Philharmonic.
All of these studies are first and foremost musically satisfying and stylistically varied. The difficulty level of this music will be best-suited for the intermediate to advanced player. Conceived for the B-flat Trumpet or Cornet, the full range of the instrument is explored, from low F-sharp to high D.
Many of the studies give ample time to lyrical expression, much needed by all trumpet players. Technique is not overlooked. In these studies you will find double and triple tonguing, low register playing, challenging intervals, and key signatures that require intonation control of the instrument.
Performed by Philip A. Smith who is the Principal Trumpet in the New York Philharmonic. In his own words, “To those trumpeters who are going to work on these Concert Studies, above all else – HAVE FUN!
