I was looking for something else and saw this video and thought that I would have a listen; I am very pleased that I have now heard this. Well performed.
Speaking as a professional piano accompanist....trumpet players, PLEASE send your charts asap to your pianists. I had to learn this piano part in 1 week, aside from all of my other obligations, students, performances, LIFE. Do yourselves a favour and share the score early. Thank you!
@@ClugiaeBrassConsort Thank you, I already have the score. I was saying that I had to learn it, in limited time....along with music for 15 other students, for a regional competition. Music music music!
This is a beautiful solo and I wish it was played more often. I have done it on Trombone and it is always well received. Thanks for playing it here. Carole Paul Trombonist Composer and Arranger
I played this solo in 8th grade and some fellow trumpets in my high school are playing this solo so I wanted to listen to it again but I’m mad that it isn’t in Bb.
@@gr812b5 In the description of this very video "Guy Ropartz: Andante and Allegro for C or Bb trumpet and piano (1903). I. Andante. II. Allegro. Philip Smith, trumpet. Joseph Turrin, piano." if you want the Bb part buy it
@@deku1659 you can make it! I played it in June and everything went really well, the piece is really tough but by practicing enough it end up looking not so terrible, remember for the fast parts to play it very slowly before slowly accelerating, my trumpet teacher said to so it until you manage to play it faster than it's supposed to be so you will not have any difficulty playing in normal speed.
If anyone sees this any advice for a fellow trumpet player in high school who has 6 days left on his audition 😅 I really like this piece as my brother recommended it but I wasn’t pacing myself with the deadline and now I’m almost out of time so any advice would be appreciated 🙏
Grand-Moff Toby i pulled a copy out that I played freshman year of highschool on my Bb trumpet exact same notation and such. And upon further review into the description it says it’s for both Bb and C trumpet(?). So beats me which one it is as I have only played Bb trumpet.
@@derekmichaelson4258 If you play a concert E-flat it is the same pitch as the first note that Phil Smith plays in the recording, so the music in this video is surely written in concert pitch (C). At least that's the pitch that would work with accompaniment, but other versions a tone lower might exist?
I have known this piece for 63 years when I played it in junior high. Smith’s tone is great. Wish she had really followed the dynamic markings and squeezed more drama out of the peace. Does being a super famous trumpet player mean you have to not go too far in your interpretation?
