Description

Each accompaniment presented in two keys for use with either Bb or C Trumpets. At the suggestion of Pierre Thibaud, internationally known Trumpet soloist and Master teacher, Cottet composed piano accompaniments for these CHARLIER Etudes, which can now become very enjoyable concert pieces. “When I discovered the CHARLIER Etudes, I was amazed at how much variety, invention, fantasy…and generosity, this music offers. To compose the piano parts, I only had to use Charlier’s genuine ideas, to keep full unity while giving importance to the piano part as well. Outside elements are rarely introduced, but sometimes bring a touch of humour. That is real chamber music, and both partners should look for utmost pleasure performing it.” Jean-Marie COTTET
