Trax,
Everything that you do on the horn can be considered technical stuff, so yes, I suppose so. Take a long, hard look at that video that's floating around of Sergei playing Carnival of Venice.

On youtube. Outstanding. He is truly scarey. Jason Marsalis told me one time that he first heard of Sergei Nakariakov when Delfeayo called him on the phone said, man, you have to hear this Russian trumpet player, he's better than Wynton! Jason said he didn't believe him then but now thinks it's a close call. And he does everything on Bb.
BTW, I played a little bit today with Leah Schuman who's one of our trumpet teachers, another Eastman grad and Charlie student, she says she's met Manny a few times. She was working on Vivaldi because she has to play it this weekend, so I played the second part on my Bb and she played the first on her picc, and it was actually pretty in tune. I don't think I've ever played second on that before. (I once did it on an Easter gig with Byron Stripling playing second-that was interesting!)
