920bpm Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 So I'm about to start writing a piece for trumpet and piano. I want to look at some existing works for that instrumentation, but I don't know any. Anyolne have any recommendations? (Preferably more modern stuff) Thanks! Quote
blackballoons Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Eric Ewazen's "Sonata" for trumpet and piano is a great piece; definitely give it a listen. Aside from that; try "Trumpet Songs" by Jennifer Higdon. Quote
blackballoons Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Hindemith is good too. Well, he wrote a sonata for every orchestra instrument. Can't believe I forgot to mention him. Quote
robinjessome Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Berio - Sequenza X Doesn't exactly feature the pianist, but it about as serious as it gets. Quote
Qmwne235 Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 The Hindemith has a beastly piano part, so that would work... Legende might be good, too. Quote
Trumpetman252 Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Hmm....Eugene Bozza's "Caprice" and Joseph Turrin's "Caprice" are both great pieces. Quote
BrassBlood Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 "Concert Etude" by Alexander Goedicke "Sonata" by Kent Kennan "Concerto" by Arutunian (i think it's concerto...) As a trumpet player, these are some of my favorites Quote
920bpm Posted April 6, 2009 Author Posted April 6, 2009 Cool! Thanks. I'm planning to use a lot of extended techniques and such because I will probably be getting this performed Quote
