Played this yesterday. I made 5 mistakes, worst I ever did. Would have given myself a poor but I got straight superiors. Try some lip slurs, they help on the part with the straight 16th notes where u kept sliding down.
I'm a freshman this year and i play trumpet as well. I was, for solo and ensemble, going to play Conversation for Cornet, but I'm thinking of switching to this on the account my solo is way to easy.
ya i started at about 116 but as soon as u started to play it went to 96...theres no way u were playing 116...i couldnt even play that solo that fast and i played it for a trumpet recital in college
You're actually not half bad, just try to emphasize dynamics. I mostly heard forte throughtout the whole excerpt. Also keep your chin flat, it'll help when going through the 16th notes. Good luck man
whoa man. I'm doing this solo for contest this year, and I'm in 12th having a hard time getting it down. D:! But i empathize with you, it's a pretty challenging piece, esp. at the end when I noticed it going downhill. What place did you end up getting?
I am using this video as a COMPLETE guide to learn this solo as my freshman year. This. video really helps!

it seems like your going alot faster than 96...
because the orginal says 96...

I don't think its supposed to go 96. I took it about 116.
