920bpm Posted April 3, 2009 Share 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!

blackballoons Posted April 6, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinjessome Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 The Hindemith is heavy. Wynton... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackballoons Posted April 6, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinjessome Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Berio - Sequenza X Doesn't exactly feature the pianist, but it about as serious as it gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qmwne235 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 The Hindemith has a beastly piano part, so that would work... Legende might be good, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpetman252 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Hmm....Eugene Bozza's "Caprice" and Joseph Turrin's "Caprice" are both great pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrassBlood Posted April 6, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
920bpm Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
