Transcendental Etudes (Neuheit Trompete)

Transcendental Etudes (Neuheit Trompete) Written in 2020, these (10) etudes are for the advanced player, each exercising a different musical style and/or trumpet-related concept. Written in a similar vein as Debussy and his piano etudes, these are a “warning to trumpeters to not take up the musical profession unless they have remarkable lips/fingers.” It is the composer’s hope that trumpet players everywhere will feel their playing and musicality transcend to a higher level after practice and execution of these etudes.
