About this arrangement

Solo trumpet - Grade 5 SKU: ET.TP364 Composed by Rex Richardson. Contemporary. Editions BIM #TP364. Published by Editions BIM (ET.TP364). ISBN 9790207017826.The Three Etudes for Solo Trumpet were inspired by study of Arnold Schönberg’s string quartets. Karyokinesis refers to the division of the nucleus in single-cell reproduction, the opening five-note gesture serving as the impetus for the first étude. Farben, or colors in German, is an exploration of the multi-phonics and half-valve techniques on the flugelhorn, using the same initial motif of the first étude. Its title is taken from Schoenberg’s Opus 16, the Five Pieces for Orchestra. Evo-Devolution describes the development of ever-more-complex gestures from a simple motif, and then the same process in reverse, before a high energy climax closes the work.
