The repertoire for trumpet and piano \u2013 and the conspicuous gaps therein \u2013 provides a strong incentive for rediscovering music particularly open to anachronistic re-casting. Exploring new possibilities for this duo has been the motivation behind a series of discs for Linn<\/a>, La Trompette Retrouv\u00e9e, Trumpet Masque, Romantic Trumpet Sonatas, A Bach Notebook for Trumpet and a future release, the Neo-Classical Trumpet. Each project challenges the \u2018status quo\u2019 in different ways but all the works selected \u2013 from Giovanni Gabrieli to Igor Stravinsky \u2013 urge the arranger and performer to \u2018re-imagine\u2019 pieces written for a significant range of instruments and voice types (and often under-advocated in their original guise) and present them afresh in this surprisingly malleable instrumental duo.<\/p>\n

Trumpet and piano music largely remains limited to competition pieces and a very few exceptional recital works. What \u2018might have been\u2019 if, all along, the trumpet (with or without piano) had become a vehicle of similarly expressive range to the flute, oboe and clarinet, let alone the violin and cello? What if, in the hearts and minds of great composers, the trumpet had found an occasional place at the high table of duo chamber music?<\/p>\n

The purpose of these editions is to provide new recital material for trumpet players whilst also challenging them to think of themselves broadly as solo instrumental artists, not just trumpet players. In this way, each arrangement in this series makes particular interpretative demands as to when the executant projects the timeless qualities of the instrument and when he\/she acknowledges the original context by engaging in matters of tradition, style and meaning in the music. Hence, editorial directions are purposely kept to a minimum, with the intention that players will find their own way towards a coherent and convincing vision of these \u2018old pieces in new clothes\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Re-Imagined Trumpet series is edited by Jonathan Freeman-Attwood, with arrangements by Daniel-Ben Pienaar. Initial releases are listed below, with further works in the pipeline:<\/p>\n

Bach, J.S. – Prelude & Fugue in G major<\/a>
