Beschrijving

The wide range of musical styles presented in this edition ranges from the Baroque, the Classical and Romantic periods to the modern age. Arrangements of compositions such as Schubert’s An Sylvia, Bizet’s Aragonaise (Carmen), Rachmaninoff’s Vocalise or Wagner’s Prize Song present the trumpet player with a number of technical challenges and as well as the need to consider musical style. A brilliant collection which is both educational an thoroughly enjoyable.
