Concerto in D (Michael Haydn) - I. Adagio

Andrew Bishop, Trumpet
"Live in Concert"

featuring
Genevieve Bishop, Piano
Blanka Bednarz, Violin

Presser Hall Auditorium
Bethany College
November 20, 2001

While I certainly concede that I am no pianist to speak of, you might notice on the program below that I performed a Chopin Nocturne on piano before the Michael Haydn concerto. I did this for two reasons:
1. I wanted to pretend I was a somewhat well-rounded musician, and
2. I needed a chop break after a taxing piece on B-flat and C trumpet respectively.

Not too many trumpeters have the audacity to perform this concerto live, let alone as just one piece on a very demanding full recital. As most of you trumpet folk know, in the first movement this concerto features the highest note ever composed for the classical trumpet: the high A6, the 24th partial on the natural D trumpet. I, of course, love to push the envelope -- for better or for worse -- I thought I'd scale up to it for a second time in a cadenza.

I saw another guy upload a partial video of himself performing this, and he listed his equipment for all the trumpet tech-heads. I suppose I'll do the same: Schilke P5-4, and a regular old Bach 7E mouthpiece.

[hotlipsab]

@GLkamina121: It is a piccolo trumpet. Schilike P5-4. Sorry to hear about your friend that looks like me. Poor guy.  ;-)

[fhtolsma]

great men!!! Did you play on the piccolo ore c Trumpet. Sounds good

[hotlipsab]

fhtolsma,

Thank you very much. I performed this on a Schilke P5-4 piccolo trumpet with a Bach 7E mouthpiece.

[artabanes]

I have a special weak spot for M. Haydn's music, and this piece is a fine example of his dreamy, longing adagios.

Nice playing. Where is the allegro?

[hotlipsab]

Thank you. Allegro is youtube video:

Lucky guy to have a mum who's a good musician.

Lucky mum to be playing a wonderful Bösendorfer.

I hope everyone appreciated how difficult it is at 3:10 - 3:20.

Well done, ANdrew.

(strange cadenza).

I can't believe you actually got it. Once piccolo trumpet goes above a G, I consider any sort of sound a success. Plus the rest of it is really beautiful. Really challenging piece, executed well.

[gaemp]

good sound and phrasing. No matter for the high A,,,,

[GLkamina121]

@hotlipsab your not ugly and neither is he, I've been trying to get him to stop saying he's ugly for quite some time. having no luck x( lol

[Strav9]
