is there any such thing as a trumpet quartet? if so are the instruments picc. tpt, soprano tpt, alto tpt, and bass tpt? also if the bass trumpet uses the same mouthpiece as the tenor valve trombone whats the difference between them?

I wrote some trumpet trios,quartets and quintets for regular trumpets or with a alto trumpet and bass trumpet (see my website).

The difference between a basstrumpet and a valve trombone is de sound. The trumpet sounds more like a ....... trumpet.

Is a bass trumpet written in treble clef Bb? That would make it harder for a trombone player to play. Now a Treble Clef Baritone player would have no trouble.

Lots of trumpet quartets written for four trumpets (usually the Bb variety). For example see: http://www.ibowtie.com/storesibeliustrmpt.html

We have a trumpet quartet at school (Hartt). Mainly they have just been transcribing vocal works for quartet but I know pieces have been written for the genre. Try checking out Robert King (http://www.rkingmusic.com/)

The Mancini Trumpet Quartet books are your best bet. I think Colin publishes them. They are for all similar trumpets (i.e. C, Bb, etc.), but if you want to play them on different horns, I guess you could.
