Many times we would like to practice famous solos or duets which we knew at one time or would like to learn but because of limited strength and upper range, they are beyond our current ability. If you have the desire to play some of these beautiful solos/duets, you are in luck. I will be adding to this series as time passes and I’m sure you will find some materials which will suit your current ability. Most of these solos/duets will be lowered a third and in some cases a fourth to place the range within everyone’s ability. If you have a favorite you would like to have included, just drop me a line and I will try to make it available to you. The second in our series will be the Vivaldi Concerto for Two Trumpets. This well know number is a great duet and by lowering it a fourth, from C to G, it is well within the range of both the younger player as well as the comeback player who is getting back into shape from being away from his/her horn for a while.

I am a “returning” cornet player and as such, I really appreciate finding a wonderful source of music such as yours. I have downloaded several of the “free” items and have purchased a couple of others. One of the free items is the flugel horn solo of the song “IF”. I then played the accompanying recording of the trumpet/cornet duet(?) and found it to be quite beautiful. Do you publish the duet for purchase/free?
Keep up the good work.
I’ll look into it for you and get back in the next day or two.
Thanks for the suggestion.
