Difficult; Fun to Perform; Audience Friendly: Tomasi Trumpet Concerto
Easy; Fun to Perform; Audience Friendly: Enesco Legend

Also:
Halsey Stevens Sonata
Aurtunian Concerto

I love performing the Hindemith Sonata...

I actually really like the haydn.

My highschool music teacher gave me the finale way back in grade 10 in order to challenge me, and I think i've been basically working on it ever since.

But I just really enjoy playing it. It's fun, and since I got an Eb to play it on I think I like my sound. But mostly it just feels like an old friend.

Hi Callee: I agree about the Haydn on Eb---especially on a Schilke...but I love performing the Hummel...I love its juxtaposition of fanfare vs the new developing lyrical or melodic capabilities happening with the trumpet during Haydn and Hummel's life times!

All good choices so far, though I haven’t seriously undertaken the Tomasi yet.

I love programming the Handel Aria con Variazioni transcription. The Böhme concerto is also a challenging favorite to perform.

Outstanding Nathan!

Handel's The Trumpet Shall Sound w/ Baritone Soloist and piano works nicely within a recital program (if you have a college friend that is a baritone!)

No plans to perform it, but I am having fun working on the Morales Concerto.

Dayton thank you for introducing me to the Morales Concerto...

Here is a part of it I just listened to...

Richard Stoelzel also has a recording of another of my favorite solos to play:

Oliver's Birthday by Bruce Broughton

This solo was used for the 2019-2020 All-State Concert Band auditions in Delaware...I had a trumpet student that made it into that event only for it to be shut down by Covid...fortunately my All State Jazz Band students experienced their event!!! I think it was the week after the Jazz concert and everything went remote.
