The Unaccompanied Solo.
One of my favorite topics. The following are recommended on the basis
of their musicality - and though they all fall under the classification
of ETUDES, many of these compositions, as conceived for the trumpet/cornet,
are far more musical than a lot of "music".
(all have been recorded)
(1) Try, Raymond Sabarich - Dix Etudes Pour Trompette (Selmer et fils)
Any of them, though I especially like N0S. Five and Ten. These are beautiful,
but more demanding than the Hering, for example.
I have two complete recorded versions: Bb
and C Trumpet
(2) Some of the Sigmund Hering books (32 Studies,esp #4, #12, and #18.
- - 30 Studies - 40 Studies, #31, #35) contain several very musical selections.
NOT Difficult, and very performable.
(3) H.L.Clarke - the last Characteristic Study (G# minor)
Recorded) Beautiful, 19th Century Lyricism
(4) Bousquet - 36 Celebrated Studies - perhaps my favorite is: #2,
(Recorded)
Thanks for listening - Keep 'Em Flying!
