Dear Edward,

If you had to play the Ewazen's trio for violin, trumpet and piano and did not have an E flat trumpet would you choose a C trumpet or B flat. Seems that C trumpet sonority is nearer to E flat but generally it is more difficult to master on intonation level.

Second Question:

In the same concert for which I am preparing the Trio I plan to play few excerpts from the Sldier's tale. As I don't own a cornet I will be performing on my C trumpet. However, there is a moment, where in the score the cornet is switching from A to B flat cornet. Do you think it may be useful to change to B flat trumpet on that place (Devil's Dance)?
