Trumpet and Piano - Mvt. I
This is mvt. 1 of 4 (the 2nd is almost done) of a piece for trumpet and piano. There is some programmatic narrative (a little) behind the piece, but I don't think I need to explain it since the whole work isn't even finished yet. I thought I'd just post this. I apologize for the sloppy score, I know everything that's "wrong" with it, since there is still slop to clean up, so if you can abstain from, "Oh my god _________ is right on top of the staff" posts and just focus on the music itself, the score is plenty readable.
Anyway, the midi doesn't do this the most justice since you can't replicate most of the things I write on the midi properly. You get the gist though.
EDIT:
PROGRAM NOTES
Ausburg 1893 (on the life of Rudolf Diesel)
I (Slow) - A very serious loner of a child spends hours reading and studying, and is very interested in art.
II (Scherzo) - Moves to Ausburg with his uncle, begins studying at the Technische Hochshule of Munich when he is 20
III (Very fast) - Patented Diesel engine blueprint in 1892, but first experimental model was made in 1893. The first model exploded. Four years followed until he made a succesful model.
IV (Slow) - Later in his life, plagued with emotional issues (suffering a mental breakdown) and fearing that the German army would steal his ideas for use in war machines. Died in 1913, death is a mystery. Some believe he committed suicide, others including his family believe he was thrown overboard by German agents for fear he would allow his ideas/schematics to be given to other countries like France (this was right before the first World War)
