This piece needs a very clean double tongue!

It requires more musicality than technique in my opinion. The range required is where the trumpet has the most "color" available. The highest note is a Bb (in the Cadenza there is a C if I remember right). There is a good mix of melodic and technical. You have to find a little Armenian "soul" to play this too. It uses a very unique harmony found in that area of the world.
If your double tongue is not up to snuff, then I would wait on this one until it is.
