Intermediate to advanced concert pieces. This is the Piano Accompaniment book foe EXPLORATIONS for Bb Cornet/Trumpet with CD accompaniment. - JM44569- This version has CD accomp.
Note by Allen Vizzutti : Explorations came from my observation of the need for more quality literature for the young trumpet soloist. I love to compose to a picture idea or program, and hence the idea for this set of solos was born. Each solo addresses a specific challenge for the trumpet performer, but every effort was made to keep the solo parts easily playable. My concept in writing the piano accompaniments (which are available separately) was to make them as colorful and interesting as possible in an attempt to end up with music that was not elementary sjudy music but intermediate level recital pieces. Any of the pieces can be performed together as a set and in any order or combination. The end result is a musical collection that I think will be both enjoyable to study and perform. I hope that the enclosed CD will help with your practice and performance of the pieces. On the CD you will first hear me play the piece. The piano accompaniment (without the solo part), played by my wife Laura, will follow. Have fun!

Original pieces and arrangemements designed to give beginners something really satisfying to play.
PREFACE The pieces in Bravo! Trumpet take the student progressively through the early grades. They consist mainly of original material, with a few arrangements too - some well-known, some more unusual. These pieces are intended to encourage the student to perform - rather than merely play - whenever the opportunity arises. All too often, the early stages of learning an instrument can be a solitary process. Wherever possible, these pieces should be played with their keyboard accompaniments. Hearing the keyboard parts will lead to an awareness and appreciation of different musical styles and a sense of harmony, not just melody. In addition, playing with an accompaniment develops the pupil’s ability to maintain his or her own part while listening to another And of course, it’s fun!
