Who Is Your Favorite Child? Part 2


Just as it would be impossible to name my favorite child, it would also be impossible for me to name my favorite arrangement. To narrow the field down a little from the two hundred and fifty five arrangements that I have listed on my site, I thought I would list the top three (when possible) from each of the fifteen categories. Some have been selected for their creativity; some were included because of their uniqueness and some because of the possible value to the trumpet literature.
