Piano accompaniments for 10 Etudes from Théo CHARLIER,
Études Transcendantes for Trumpet [A companion volume to the Leduc publication
-
The Trumpet parts are NOT included].
Each accompaniment presented in two keys for use with either Bb
or C Trumpets
At the suggestion of Pierre THIBAUD, internationally known Trumpet
soloist and Master teacher, Cottet composed piano accompaniments
for these CHARLIER Etudes, which can now become very enjoyable concert
pieces.
As pianist, Jean-Marie COTTET plays solo and chamber music throughout
the world. He is permanent soloist of “Ensemble COURT-CIRCUIT”
in Paris. As composer, he won the first Prize of the “JOSSE
international competition” (Variations for saxophone and piano)
at age 18 , then completed full composition studies at the Paris
National Superior Conservatoire.
“When I discovered the CHARLIER Etudes, I was amazed at how
much variety, invention, fantasy…and generosity, this music
offers. To compose the piano parts, I only had to use Charlier’s
genuine ideas, to keep full unity while giving importance to the
piano part as well. Outside elements are rarely introduced, but
sometimes bring a touch of humour. That is real chamber music, and
both partners should look for utmost pleasure performing it.”
