TR12: Pezzo Pazzo for Trumpet in C and Piano
by Astrid Spitznagel. Musikverlag Alexander Mayer, 2005, SS, 18 + 8
pages. Astrid Spitznagel has been a piano accompanist for trumpet and
horn students at the University of Musik and performing Arts in Vienna,
Austria for approximately 20 years, so she is very well acquainted with
the technical possibilities on these instruments. She is not only an
accomplished pianist, but she also earned a diploma for flute. In her
composition Pezzo Pazzo for Trumpet in C and Piano, she has combined a
whirlwind of notes into a brilliant, dynamic new combination. Chen
Guang, an outstanding student from China, premiered the work in Vienna
in June 2005 in his graduation program. Astrid has dedicated Pezzo
Pazzo to him. This is a challenging new work for ambitious trumpeters,
who are looking for an energy packed 'showpiece' in the very best sense
of the word. You can view pages of the score here. |
