OK, I've got all Herring, Brandt, Charlier, Arban Characteristic Studies, the standards, Is there a new etude book out -- by new I mean within 5-10 years -- that is as melodic and challenging as some of these? Occasionally you need to shake up the routine. (Not that I can play all of the above perfectly or close to where they should be.They are a lifetime's work, especially Charlier.) Any recommendations would be appreciated (not looking for jazz etudes.)

Some of these go back to the 1990s, so they are outside your 5-10 year timeframe, but all of them are excellent.

Phil Snedecor's "Lyrical Etudes," "Lyrical Etudes II," "Etudes in the Operatic Style" and "Low Etudes"

Phil Collins' "100 Trumpetudes" and "Pops Orchestra"

Chris Gekker's "24 Etudes"

Charles Reskin's "Intermediate Trumpet Outings" and "Advanced Trumpet Outings 1 & 2"

Also, Max Havart, Gilles Herbillon, and Gilles Senon all have series of etudes that are worth considering.

You also said "overlooked": Merri Franquin, Méthode Compléte de Trompette Moderne. Wonderful book (and text). Contains some really good etudes.

THIS!!!!

Phil Smith has two etude books with concert quality works, and I use them in my studio and with advancing high school students. Many find them excellently musical, and a worthy addition to their collections.

+1 on Snedecor Lyrical Etudes and Franquin Complete Method (which I think is fantastic—a hidden gem).

There are some old standards out there that haven't been mentioned yet. Some of these have been resurrected by qPress in digital format. Maybe you have these, but just in case:

Wurm 40 Studies
Goldman Practical Studies
Cafarelli 100 Studi Melodici
Duhem Melodius Etudes vol. 1-3 (these range from easy to advanced)
Sachse 100 Studies
The Art of Bel Canto, by Vacchiano
New Concepts for Trumpet, Vizzutti (hard to categorize this one; it has melodic etudes with technical concepts, response rejuvenation, tricky sight reading. Great book.)

I very much like "New Concepts for Trumpet: Innovative Etudes, Duets and Studies" by Allen Vizzutti. I think it's well laid out and has some nice duets in it. Definitely worth investigating.

By Blazhevitch, similar stylistically to the Brandt book.

Thanks for this link, Jay. These exercises look great; haven't seen this before.

There are also studies by Vannetelbosch (Vingt Etudes), Boutry (I believe also 20 Etudes), Bitsch, transcriptions of Bach etudes for various other instruments, and I believe Snedecor also wrote a "Low Studies" book. I've used/have all but the Low Studies, all are very worthwhile and suited for 20th/21st Century work in tonality, meter, rhythmic interest and musicianship demands.

And I'll say it again- I still think most people overlook what can be gained from playing and studying the Arban's Art of Phrasing section and really trying to make music in an operatic style... Not much of a push for technique but enters into the area many of us leave out in our effort to increase range and facility: making music.

I listed a few newer etude books earlier. In terms of "overlooked," a few come to mind that I haven't seen posted already:

Fricke's "104 Progressive Exercises"
Pietzsch's "22 Virtuosity Studies"
Paudert's "24 Studies"
Trognee's ""15 Grandes Etudes," "25 Etudes Techniques," and "30 Etudes Melodiques"
Tyrrell's "40 Advanced Studies"
Voisin's "11 Studies"
Werner's "40 Studies"

I agree with your comments about the Arban's Art of Phrasing.
They are excellent for developing lyrical playing, endurance, breath control,
and a sense of melody.
In fact, I think a lot of players tend to overlook all that the Arban
book has to offer.
Many years ago I read an article in the ITG journal,
which was an interview with William Vacchiano. One of the points
that he stressed was the fact that he believes that many trumpet
players do not spend enough time working in the
Arban book.
He stated that there are lots of methods to work out of
but many of them do not "teach what the Arban book teaches".
He also stated that one could spend a lifetime practicing
out of the Arban book.

Already mentioned, but I'll give another shout out to the 100 TrumpEtudes from Phil Collins. A wide array of music and tons of little insights throughout the book.

Far more than just Etudes (though the same can be said of Arban)... but I'd heartily recommend getting your hands on a copy of the St Jacome, if you haven't already.

These characteristic and lyrical studies are legit and worth a look.
