Which is more impressive? I want to dazzle and really show off to the judges this year. I'd like to lay something at about the same level as last year when I did the Arutunian. _________________ Andrew Fowler

I really like the Geodicke. I don't think its quite as hard as the one you played last year but its really fun to play.

Try the Ennio Porrino Concertino. It's a little more diffucult techinically than the Artunian, but if you pull it off, they'll be pulling their jaws of the floor. _________________ Nicholas Dyson

I haven't heard the Enesco Legende or the Ennio Porrino Concertino. What Cd's are they on and do you think they are on the UIL list in Texas? _________________ Andrew Fowler

The Legend is a great piece but I don't know of a recording off the top of my head.

There are tons of recordings of the Legende...it is the #1 most performed College Recital piece (or at least in the top three). I'm pretty sure it's on the UIL list..although I don't have any students who could come close to playing it....so I haven't checked! Also a good first C trumpet piece. Good Luck! |

I don't know of any recordings of the Porrino, sorry, I wish I did!
The Enesco is a very nice piece, though a little on the difficult side for the advanced high school player. Just my opinion.
Also, how bout the Kennan? That's tricky too, but there are recordings available.
Hey, isn't the Enesco on Wynton's 'On The 20th Century' record? It's been a long time since I listened to it (it was one that got ripped off), but I think it is.
Another GREAT piece, and one of my all time favorites is Bozza's 'Rustiques'. Playable on either Bb or C (I always did it on Bb), and not TOO difficult, although the last 16 measures or so gave me fits!!! I know that one is on 'On The 20th Century'. _________________ Nicholas Dyson

I've played both Rustiques and Andante Et Scherzo (both Bozza) in the past couple of years and are good 'show off' pieces if you manage to perform them well enough... both show the contrasts in dynamic, sound, articulation and phrasing that the trumpet is capable of very well.
Eiether would be a good choice.. !! good luck
For a recording of Legend (Enesco) check out Wynton Marsalis recording on a cd entiled "On the twentieth Century". It also includes other standard repertoir like the Honneger Intrada, Halsey Stevens sonata etc...

Really? huh, that interesting. I guess the thing I think is really hard about the Enesco is getting the time right between the trumpet and piano. Rustiques I thought was a little more straight ahead in that way. But yeah! They're both tough, that's for sure. Both really pretty too! _________________ Nicholas Dyson

Hi
Is the Andante and Scherzo the Busser or Barat one? Either way I'd probably choose them above the Concert Study as they both have slow intros and will show a different facet to your playing. As everyone else is throwing in suggestions to you could I also add the Bozza Caprice (I prefer No.1 to No.2 but that is of course a very personal opinion).
Hope this helps

Hi,
In addition to the above suggestions, why not try some Rafael Mendez solos? These are great for showing off your technique. They're mostly fairly difficult, but always showstoppers. Or some of the Clarke solos would be good. They show off range, technique, and lyrical interpretation all at the same time. Or you might try other concertos, like Haydn, Hummel, Neruda, etc. if you haven't done some of these yet. Good luck!

I have a fond place for the Geodicke Concert Etude because I once won a trumpet solo competition with it. It's a great tune if played right. I once got to hear Dennis Schnieder at a clinic rip through it flawlessly at about Warp 9. It's a fabulous solo in my book. _________________ Patrick Gleason

The Goedicke was so much fun. I played it last year at ~144bpm (My 9th grade year). My double tonguing got so much better because of it. However, I kind of think of it as an entry level piece. I mean, what, it's only like a grade 4. Now, I've moved onto the Hummel (which is getting easy technique-wise... not so much endurance-wise) and the Haydn (which is extremely easy technique-wise... not so much musicallity-wise).
If I were you, pick up Carnaval at a local music store. Grand Russia Fantasia, Fantaisie Brillante, or Carnival of Venice would probably be the most impressive, IMO.
Good luck and let us know your choice.

Yeah I played the hummel my 9th grade yaer. I like the sound of the piece. Grand russian isn't on the texas list, and I hate Fantasie Brillante. It's to showy and not musical enough, to me at least. I am almost feeling the same way about Carnival but hey to each his own. _________________ Andrew Fowler

Yeah, the Hummel is a nice sounding concerto. The Hummel is my favorite concerto. "Prayer for St. Gregory" is a good "non-concerto" piece and it sounds wonderful when played well.
I feel the same way about most of the songs in Carnaval being too showy. I really don't think "Those Endearing Young Charms" or "'Tis the Last Rose of Summer" are, though. But, hey, you asked for showy, so these were the first to come to mind.
Anyways, if you're looking for showy stuff with a better sense of "musicality", I would maybe recommend a sonata. The Hindemith is pretty good. The Halsey-Stevens is good too. The Kent Kennan is ok, just not one of my favorites (a ton of odd meters...). I know Wynton has a recording of the Hindemith and I have a recording of the 1st movement from the Halsey-Stevens which is a no name (I got it off of Audiogalaxy), but I'm assuming it's Wynton, I'm just not exactly sure.
I hope this helps,
