Concerto For Trumpet And Orchestra
By Elgar Howarth

Item Number: BT.MUSCH55896

Elgar Howarth's Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra has been arranged for Trumpet with Piano accompaniment by Martin Harvey. The new Piano reduction cleverly compensates for theextendedpassages of untuned percussion in the original accompaniment, adding yet another dimension to this exciting and volatile work.
