I don't understand the Charlier. It says to play it on C and don't transpose.

Probably means to play it on C trumpet as if it were written for C trumpet. In other words, just play what you see, forget that it was written for Bb.

What don't you understand about "play it on C and don't transpose"? They want you to play it on C trumpet as written.

rubberduckie thanks for the info . How do you like your job so far?

My book is old and maybe it has been re-done but in mine, it's written for B flat trumpet.

You are going to need to buy the newer C trumpet version. It came out in the mid 90s I think.

I'm sorry that was a joke.

1. Take your good old Charlier book and put it on the stand.

2. Pick up your C trumpet. (double check you picked up the C and not Bb)

3. Play Charlier #2 on your C trumpet

4. Do not transpose. Play what you see written on the page on C trumpet.

I'm glad to see that the Phil is accepting tapes. A lot of the smaller orchestras don't. Many decide who to invite solely on the basis of resumes. I was rejected by the Toledo Symphony because my resume didn't include enough professional experience. I like to think that if they had a blind tape round, I would have at least had a shot. It's funny that mid-level orchestras hold out for the best resume while the New York Phil holds out for the best musician...

Sorry to hijack this thread for a minute but it sounds like you got fed a line from Toledo. I know a player from the area who was at the audition and several local college students were given the chance to play. Who knows how much "professional experience" they had.

Not everyone in Toledo wanted the best musician. Some just wanted a third trumpet.
