The trumpet part stays true to Arban’s demands: clarity, articulation, endurance, and style. The piano part moves beyond mere accompaniment, becoming an active rhythmic partner in the ragtime transformation.
This version was adapted from the composer’s brass quintet reimagining and retains the dramatic arc of that larger work — distilled into an exciting solo format.

Arban Meets Joplin
Trumpet (or Cornet) & Piano
After Arban’s Characteristic Study No. 1 — with a Ragtime Reimagining
What happens when the 19th-century virtuoso tradition of Jean-Baptiste Arban collides with the rhythmic snap of American ragtime?
Arban Meets Joplin blends the familiar technical brilliance of Arban’s Characteristic Study No. 1 with the jaunty syncopations of Joplin inspired ragtime. The conservatory meets the saloon.
