Another Trumpet Update
Things are slowly falling into place on the trumpet side. Up till now, I've been focusing on the Grieg songs and the Lindberg, and going through the Telemann in my head.
As I've mentioned before, all of these are arrangements from pieces originally meant for different mediums, so I don't actually have "trumpet"-published music to work from, with the exception of the Telemann.
I'm reading the Grieg's Last Spring off the voice-piano score, and another piece I've decided to throw in, So lokka me over den myra, off the piano part. The Lindberg exists as a handwritten transcription of the melody, while I still have to clean up the midi version of it, so that it is actually readable on the piano staves. In any case, I've decided that it makes most sense to perform from memory, so that one can focus on the musical atmosphere instead of being guided onstage by the printed score. Of course, this is easiest for me to say, as I probably have the least number of notes to play among all the performers!
Shimei just performed her Spitze concert tonight (Bravo! to all performers by the way), so I'm hoping to kidnap her soon to read through the music. Also tonight, I received the piccolo trumpet I'm borrowing from one of my teachers, Yap Thien Soo, so I can start physically working up the Telemann. Heartfelt thanks to Mr Yap!
More updates as and when they occur!
