Concerto Classics gives intermediate trumpet players the opportunity to explore the most important and influential concertos in the instrument’s repertoire. Each concerto has been carefully arranged as a valuable stepping-stone towards experiencing the original great works, and gives students their first taste of a concerto performance. Included with the three concertos are supplementary study exercises designed to support students with various technical aspects required in the solo parts. Attention is given to tonguing, slurring, dotted rhythms and syncopation, and also includes tips on phrasing and interpretation.
