| Keith,
I may have given a wrong impression...I've just wrritten that I don't own an E flat. You normally get 2 trumpets parts with the violin and piano part. Probably you do know already that. The parts are scored either for E flat or C trumpet...Previously I believed that Phil Smith recorded it on C but I may be wrong. Myself, I have never seen someone playing the piece on E flat. But I have seen not many performances of the Trio and all of them were on C. Actually, the piece may have never benn played before in Bulgaria...I may be the first to perfrmorm in BG and surely I am the first one to perform it in my town...I always prefered the C trumpet for that kind of stuff, but wanted to have few opinions from americans trumpeters...What we do in Europe may be different from US...I mean the choice of the instrument. In France the choice will be surely C but they play almost everything on C. A London trumpeter (I may think of these great guys like Rod Franks, Maurice Murphy or Jimmy Watson with whom I had few trumpet lessons) will surely take a B flat...
