Every once in a while you encounter a piece of music that really brings the reality hammer home, letting you know you're not all that with a trumpet in your hand. This is such a piece for me, but ... that's not the main point of this post.

I'm wondering about a specific note, in the Scherzo movement. There is a bar, 9 from the end of the movement, that has two sixteenths (Bb, Ebb), followed by a dotted quarter (Cb).

In at least some recordings I've listened to, it seems that the soloist plays a Bb for that last note instead of a Cb, or B natural. I kind of like the sound of it that way, but it's not what's written, at least not in my copy.

I'm wondering if there might be a later edition that shows a change there, or errata somewhere?

For what it's worth,

In the original etude (the three pieces in the Triptyque are three etudes from Tomasi's Six Etudes Pour Trompette...just with piano accompaniment) it is indeed a Cb. I've always played a Cb.

I'm curious...what recordings do you have where they play something else? All of mine play the Cb...

Best,
Louie

On a second more careful listen, I think it was the Cb, just it was a little low in pitch and when combined with the piano part underneath it fooled me. I jumped the gun. Thanks for your reply.

How big do your hands need to be to play the piano part for this? Movement two measure 5 and measure 13 aren't possible right?
