Advanced Concert Studies

Advanced Concert Studies contains the same musical and technical challenges found in the original Concert Studies, only on a more advanced level. Lyricism is a large component of this book, with technical challenges of range, tonguing, intervals, and key signatures abounding. This collection contains music written specifically for Philip Smith, Principal Trumpet from the New York Philharmonic, from such composers as James Curnow, Allen Vizzutti, Ellen Taaffe Zwilich, Joseph Turrin, Bruce Broughton and many others. Also included with this book is a CD of Philip Smith performing these studies.
