Eric Ewazen Sonata for Trumpet and Piano

[DumbPeopleAreFunny]

Dang what state do you live in? The rules for making it to State on a solo seem pretty loose compared to Texas. Here, you have to play a class 1 solo memorized at the solo/ensemble contest before you can make it.

Very well done!

Where can I find downloadable sheet music for this?

[rubix12321]

Nowhere, unless you pay for it.

Very nice playing! I find this piece very intersting, I'd like to have scores , I teach chamber music in Argentina, here is imposible to find the scores, could you send me it by email. I'd be very thanked becouse it would be so usefull for me!

Thanks and congratulations!

I think this has oodles of expression, but I think you're slightly timid with your tone in some spots leading up to big arrivals, which takes a little from the arrival. That just has to do with pacing of the phrase. Open a little more before the arrival, and I'll probably cry. The room also affected the sound, leaving you very exposed - I think you dealt with that pretty well. Where do you study now?

[trumpetproz]

I was a senior at Sprague High School this last year, and I studied with Brett Randolph. Next year I will be studying at Oregon State University, hopefully with Jay Chen.

[sinfonian39]

Could you tell me about your experience at Oregon State so far - I know it's only a couple weeks in. I'm looking at possibly starting my DMA in performance next year and am browsing schools just in case.

[trumpetproz]

I love the school. Jay Chen is a great trumpet instructor, and overall, the music program is really quite good. The wind ensemble sounds great if I might say so myself.

Congralutations for this music. Y play this 1 week ago, it's superb !

[mangoman500]

very nice!

but i didnt think it was best in state at first, i think because the recording quality wasnt perfect

[italianskaprincesa16]

fantazzling!!!

[Sharmanator55]

Was that this year's performance or what year was this?

[trumpetproz]

This was 2007

[Sharmanator55]

So this is the competition where you took 1st in state? Amazing!

[trumpetmaster345]

[dragonbird000]

Hey there, I played the second and third movement of this, it's absolutely gorgeous. But I've never heard the first movement before. Well done!! post the other ones up when/if you record them.
