Dauverne gilt als Vater der franzosischen Schule der Ventil-Trompete und schuf als Professor des Pariser Conservatoire ein umfangreiches Lehrwerk fur dieses Instrument. Seine Variationen op. 3 zahlen zu den fruhesten Kompositionen fur Ventil-Trompete in Frankreich. Durch die Konzentration auf das mittlere Register ist das Werk auch im Unterricht gut einsetzbar.

This composition by Dauverne is a charming work comprised of an introduction, theme, and four variations. According to the editor, it was most likely composed in the 1830s. It was written some 20 years before the publication of Dauverne's Methode pour la trompette but contains similar lyrical and virtuosic lines that are contained in the celebrated method. The original edition includes in the title, non-difficult variations. As Courturier points out in his commentary, what is difficult is certainly a relative matter and that Dauverne viewed this work as not difficult, must speak to his very high level of technical mastery. (...) Jean-Louis Couturier regards this piece as one of the earliest trumpet and piano works in the French tradition. It is certainly an enjoyable and fun piece to perform and we own Jean-Louis Couturier a debt of thanks for his continued research on this brass repertoire and in particular, for bring out this composition.
