Andante and Allegretto

Trumpet

By Guillaume Balay

Really nice sounding piece: a slower, almost operatic beginning section followed by a light and articulate section. The only reason I give the piece four stars is because it ends a little abruptly, and the faster, lighter section ends the piece strangely. However, this is a very good piece to...

have played. A great opener to a recital, or possibly a piece to play in between concertos in a recital.

Just glancing over this piece it seems to be pretty elementary. But once you start to play it you realize that this piece has some tough spots. Overall this piece requires an easy airflow and a beautiful tone to be played correctly (like most other pieces). If a student tries...

to tackle this with poor fundamentals they will get eaten alive by this piece. I'd say this piece is a lot of fun to play. You can show off your tone in the first movement along with some technical stuff and then show off your technique in the second movement.

I played this piece before and it was great!!! It is very well written and sounds great along with the piano part.The slow part is tons of fun and the fast part is even more fun, and the grand finale...I'm telling you that you'll love it
