The Orchestral Etudes composed by Vassily Brandt (1869-1923) have been used for over a century to prepare trumpet players to play many of the standards in the orchestral repertoire. This new edition by acclaimed trumpet performer and prominent pedagogue Mark Clodfelter aims to foster a renewed awareness of note groupings, sequences, stylistic emphasis and syncopation. Additionally, Professor Clodfelter has proposed transpositions for many of the etudes, utilizing Bb, C, and Eb Trumpets. Geared toward a more global understanding of the instrument, this new approach offers a fresh, indispensable perspective for any serious trumpet student's library.
