| Re: Trumpeter's Lullaby
I just performed this piece with orchestra in Boston and couldn't agree more with the previous poster. I have heard a few recordings of this piece and have heard what my teacher heard from his teacher (Roger Voisin, for whom the piece was written) and it all amounted to "make it your own". I took little stylistic touches that I liked from each of the recordings I had heard and developed some amalgam of all of the advice I heard in my performance. In the end, if you like your interpretation, so will the audience.
