I'm sure it sounds great on midi.

Do you play trumpet? I'm going to guess not. It is seriously the most impractical thing I've ever seen for trumpet. There are two single complete measures of rest for the player. You may consider re-writing it for clarinet if you're going to insist the player play that relentlessly for so long. Violin may be another possiblity. They are used to constant playing.

Forgive me, but at first I thought it was an elaborate joke. Fun to play? I think not, aagin, forgive me. The fun for trumpet usually comes in the interplay between soloist and accompanist and there is none. Rather, it's just constant melody vs. countermelody but there's nothing conversant about the piece.

I think it was very thoughtful of you to sit down and write the piece and even more so that you sought out this website and shared the piece free of charge. Thanks for that. The demands you make are unreasonable for a fine performance and interpretation, however. I'm sure there are some power jocks that can slam through the piece but I'm not one of them. But, that's just me.
