Arban Etude #2 in E major

Etude in E to practise awkward fingerings and breath support. With the advent of C-trumpet and A-piccolo, not so much relevant these days, but nice to be able to play in any key anyway. Played on my Bb trumpet.

Sounds great!! I need to work on this one.

@Titurel Thank you! Working on breath efficiency and capacity these days, so maybe I will come back to this etude and finally be able to play it as written, in terms of phrases in one breath...

Good work. And, I guarantee most of the guys who criticize you can't play it as well as you.

[pcerasi]

@HasteTwo Thanks for the kind words!

Doing the beginning of this in one breath is really hard, but major points for giving it a shot and then posting it on youtube for the world to see. And by the way, you know you stole my ending on this!!! LOL

@herbtrumpet Except I don't do it as well as you!! I confess doing things in one breath is my weak point, should be working on it, as I believe it would help endurance...

@adtrumpetaperaspera Thanks a lot! Appreciated...

[adtrumpetaperaspera]

Geez, tough crowd here. I think it's a great effort, the lyrical section especially was performed quite nicely.

@crowderfan10 ain't much flawless on da toob, though! Criticism is welcome and real music is seldom flawless...

[crowderfan10]

ok... dude... I'm not going to dis on your playing, I'm not going to say you're good or bad. However, just please remember this, when you put something on youtube you subject it to A LOT of criticism. I would suggest having this down FLAWLESSLY if you want to put it on youtube and get constructive criticism. (Flawlessly being a figure of hyperbole).
