Tomasi Concerto

sonarerocks · 06-28-2009, 09:54 PM

I am really looking for a copy of this concerto, any help. Also suggestions and tips on actually playing the piece once I get it, thanks!

I've been working on this concerto for about 5 months now, on and off. I find that I'm learning so much about my playing through learning the work. The best advise I can give is to not try to perform it too quickly. I tried to get it ready for an audition in about 2 months, and completely fell flat on my face...

The good news is that the experience has taught me the difference between thinking I know a piece, and actually knowing it. I'm hoping it'll be ready sometime next January...

As far as finding the piece look at Hickeys.com they have everything.

I played the Tomasi years ago for a college Jr. recital. I had listened to recordings of it for years and I was scared to death of it. When my teacher assigned it to me, I thought "what the heck am I getting myself into?" But to be perfectly honest, I believe it turned out to be one of my best growing experiences all-around. Taking it nice and slow and before I knew it, I was performing it. it taught me that anything is possible if you have the right motivation.

That's a good summation, Phil, of what working on that piece brings.

By my senior recital, I was not able to do it enough justice to put it on my program, but I lived with that thing for months my senior year. It's really a beautiful piece.

Taking it slow at first and getting every note in your ear is key. Heck, I guess you could say that about just about any piece but it seems especially fitting for the Tomasi.

rowuk, have you ever played this concerto? you know anything cool about it? i can imagine that you get tired of people who get on here and ask for sheet music, but it would be interesting to hear what you know about this peice...

I've never played it. It was on the road map, but I never got to it. Once I was out of music school, the demand for it in my world dropped to about zero. The Bozza, Arutunian and Fitzgerald seemed to get more mileage.

This piece is unique compared to any other trumpet concerto out there. I would suggest that you make sure to play it in a light enough style. It's nowhere near as "aggressive" as the Arutunian concerto, and will absolutely wear you out if you play it too heavily. I would say Sergei Nakariakov does the best recording of this piece. Good luck!
