' With the present edition for Trumpet and Piano, my series of arrangements of compositions from old masters for Brass is continued. The aim of this edition is to enable scholars shortly after the elementary instruction to play music together, to develop their rhythmical sense, intonation and musicality and also to systematically enlarge tone range, condition and technical abilities by gradually increasing the degree of difficulty of the performance pieces. In the course of this the teacher has the possibility to decide with regard to the individual abilities of his scholars and to prevent a possible excessive demand whether repetitions within a piece or appropriate extracts are necessary. Additionally, more facilitations are marked by 'Ossia' at specific points. For public performances it is possible to arrange certain pieces as small suites. The selection of suitable pieces may be made as regards to composers or genres. Popular pieces of different characters of one key as well as compositions of parallel keys can be combined, too. A lot of these compositions were played with ornaments in the historical performance praxis. For this, the present edition gives alternatives in brackets or small print within similar sections or repetitions. They may be added or modified by self considerations. They should be performed preferably not until the second time. In this edition the Trumpet part is added both in Bb and C. In the hope that this selection gives all teaching staffs a useful gain for their lessons I wish the young interpreters good luck at the rehearsal and also much success for the performance '. - Gerd Philipp
