brilliant jewel
Stevens has created a masterful work for trumpet and piano. More a duet in structure as the piano is integral to the success of the work. Having two people on the same wave length is crucial. The use of direct accents and tenuto challenge the stylistic interpretation of the work. All my students who play this love it - they adore the playful first movement, the interplay of trumpet and piano sonority and magic of 5/8 change up to set continuity between the 3 sections of the work. Second movement can be so moving and the last movement is a romp! I hear so much Copland and Hindemith here jocular moments mixed with intense statements from the heart. Enjoy the experience; yes you need good fluid technique but with careful study you will be rewarded.
