Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to provide insight and context for five selected compositions featuring trumpet as the solo instrument performed on this author’s graduate recital. The repertoire discussed include Georg Philipp Telemann’s Concerto in D Major, Johann Baptist Georg Neruda’s Concerto in E-flat Major, Eugene Bozza’s Badinage, Alexandre Arutiunian’s Aria et Scherzo, and JacobTV’s Close Fight.
Each chapter contains biographical information of the composer as well as brief analysis and performance considerations of the selected works.
