| Nikolay,
I doubt that my old Juilliard classmate Eric would care at all what horn you play his music on. I don't play the trio (or any of his music)but have heard it performed a few times on C trumpet.
L'Histoire du Soldat is best played on the C cornet but the C trumpet will work. I see little reason to change horns in midstream (no real purpose) and you can try an old Vacchiano trick with the fast D7 arpeggio (C/A/F#/D/F#/A/C) in the Devil's Dance: extend the 3rd slide and play the D 2&3.
Someday I'll tell my Bulgarian snow storm story to our fellow TMers (Burgas to Sofia, a day late for a week-long residency at the conservatory). You live in a beautiful country, my friend. . .
Best,
EC |
