Worthwhile trouvailles
Pieces from five centuries for trumpet and piano that cut a fine figure in a performance exercise or competition.

The pedagogical skill of Kristin Thielemann, the author of this anthology, seems obvious when you look at the short trouvailles from the last five centuries of music history, which have been compiled with care and intelligence. From Tilman Susato to Handel and Verdi to smaller compositions of his own, Thielemann knows how to serve up music for young soloists that they can enjoy performing in rehearsals and competitions. Unknown (German dance by Johann Hermann Schein) is in harmonious balance with the classical evergreens (Joy, beautiful spark of the gods), the piano part is simply set and could also be used by interested piano students. To complete the offer, there is also an accompanying CD in this booklet for use at home. A really worthwhile alternative or supplement for lessons with young musicians, who in this way become carefully familiarized with the various musical styles.
