Competition for trumpet solo

Could you? I need more time :S I am thinking in flute, and I just didn't find the right accords to your instrument :)

sure. how much longer? two weeks into january? jan. 31st is as far as i will go, but i'd prefer it before that

two weeks into jan. will be great :)

count me in too... i have almost done the piece, and hope you like it, it's a reduction for piano of a concert for trumpet and orchestra i wrote some time ago... it's a bit long, i think a 7 -8 min, with cadenzas and fermatas... hope you'll like it and maybe perform it :) i will post it soon

I haven't written something in a few weeks. I'll have to give this a try.

Does it have to be slow and sustained, like you'd be used to hearing in a church, or

can it be a bit more bouncy?

Bouncy is fine. The only thing I'm really looking for here is a nice beautiful melody. As long as it's not gonna sound like I'm trying to kill someone, I say go for it!!

And how about intervals? Are you OK with going up/down sixths without any reference points?

And what's your comfortable range? I've written from the E - first line on the staff - up to A - a ledger line above. Are eigth notes at 95 BPM 4/4 okay for these kinds of notes? And how long could you sustain a C - one line below the staff?

Here is my contribution. However, it is less than 2 minutes long.

Let me know if it's playable.

the range is PERFECT. and speed is just fine. a low c.... i could hold it for probably a whole minute :P

a low C like that can be held out on a trumpet for quite a long time... at 95 BPM in 4/4... probably 6-12 measures depending on volume

It is quite playable. Is this your final entry? If you'd like to make any alterations or variations or maybe write an acompaniment you should have some time. I've extended the deadline to January 16th at midnight

Great! Jan. 16th it is then. Do you have access to a Cello player and a violinist?

Please forgive the continuing barrage of techical questions, but is an A-Bb trill manageable?

And, are long phrases OK, so long as you've got a few spots where it's OK to breathe?

Cello and violin would be stretching it a bit... i was kind of aiming for a solo trumpet with a possible piano acompaniment. I would prefer these parts to be somehow incoroporated into the accompaniment.

Long phrases are okay, and just make sure the A-Bb trill isn't at the tail end of a long phrase. I need a lot of air to make those notes clean.

Well, I kind of finished.

It is a first movement for a trumpet sonata.

I added the score, but I forgot to write the tempo: it should be around one quarter = 120.

If you wish I can make efforts to finish the other movements till Jan. 16, I have sketches.

Tell me if it playable :)

And one more thing - It is written for Bb trumpet. Which trumpet do you play?

Nitzan.

If you really can't find anyone, I could try to adapt the accompaniement for piano. Let me know if you can't seem to snag two string players.

Go a head and write the parts, but I'm not going to guarantee ANYTHING for the performance of the piece.

This piece is very playable. Try and finish the other movements if at all possible. Bb is what i play

This sounds cool! I might cook something up myself...

Okay, I'm currently writing something for this, but we'll see if I actually get it into condition to submit. :)

I say go for it! the more entries the better.

you can't win if you don't try!

Im glad I stumbled across this forum/website! Ive been writing and recording for a few years now and this looks like a great community. anyway, all that aside, I am totally gonna try and write something for you man!

Hey I'd love to give this a try!

I've never tried to do a trumpet solo before this should be fun!

14 days everyone!

I'm done! Should I send you the file or just post it here? Piece length is about 4 min.

you can post them here, if you're not worried about people "stealing your ideas"

personally i don't think that anyone HERE would steal ideas, but if you don't feel comfortable send them to pineappleologist@hotmail.com

i would prefer them here, however

Here you go. I don't think I exceeded a comfortable range, although the last part could be a bit difficult :whistling: . There aren't any breathing spots written in per se, but anything longer than an eight note can be cut to breathe. If there are any problems, let me know.

Score + parts + mus are attached, mp3 is here:
