This collection of trumpet solos with piano accompaniments is for the player who already has a firm grasp of basic technique and range and is keen to develop his/her own playing skills further. This book covers music equivalent to ABRSM Grades 5-7 standard and will prepare players for the sonata and concerto repertoire they will encounter in later grades. The pieces are arranged in order of increasing technical difficulty and have been chosen from as wide a range of composers and styles as possible. Notes on performance and technique are included for each piece at the back of the book.
