My First Concert

To every young musician, the first concert is a special experience. The choice of the right performance piece is of vital importance: It should be technically and musically manageable, make a strong impression and give great pleasure in practising. The edition My First Concert contains easy pieces for trumpet in B flat and piano for music lessons and first auditions. The selection of the works invites the performer on a trip through various music epochs starting from 16th-century music via Baroque, Classical and Romantic to contemporary music. The musical journey through time ends in pleasant, modern pieces from the areas of pop and rock music which would add variety to lessons. Most pieces can be played after 1-2 years of music lessons. Approaching the works is made easier by the enclosed CD which contains all pieces as a demo version and as a play-along version with just piano accompaniment. The edition also contains an easy piano part for accompaniment. It is deliberately kept simple so that the piano accompaniment can also be played by students for example at concerts in music schools or at competitions. Instrumentation: trumpet (B) and piano
