Trumpet Concerto in E FlatJoseph Haydn (1732 - 1809)1611:39
        1, 2 and 3
Jennifer Bylund, Trumpet
Jacob Abela, piano
A staple of trumpet repertoire and a favourite of the audition panel, the Haydn Trumpet Concerto was originally written in 1796 to show off the pinnacle of new music technology- the keyed trumpet. Look out world, trumpets could now play chromatics.This piece is a monument to the bromance between Joseph Haydn and his virtuoso trumpeter friend Anton Weidinger. A beautiful piece of music for (what I'm assuming was) a beautiful friendship.

Arranged by Franz Liszt

This piece is certainly one of his simplest, and Liszt carries the simplicity into his transcription with such delicacy of innocence, yet hopelessness intertwined as well.

Solo de ConcoursTheo Charlier (1868 - 1944)812:31
       
James O\'Hehir, Trumpet
Theo Charlier (1868-1944) is a prominent figure in the trumpeting world. A trumpet player, teacher and composer, he is most recognised for his Trumpet literature especially his excellent study book entitled 36 Etudes Transcendantes which has become essential for developing lyrical trumpet playing among other things. Solo de Concours is an intense and dramatic piece that incorporates many different sides of trumpet playing. The passionate upper register passages; lyrical melodies; tricky technical lines all demand a lot of expressiveness and musicality.

Etude-Tableaux Op.33 No.4 in D MinorSergei Rachmaninoff (1873 - 1943)712:41
       
Sina Mehdifar, Piano
The Études-Tableaux were intended to be "picture pieces", essentially "musical evocations of external visual stimuli". This Etude starts with a simple march that grows into a thing of striking contrapuntal complexity.
  
  
Étude op.10 no.4 in C♯ minor(Torrent)Frédéric Chopin (1810 - 1849)
       
Sina Mehdifar, Piano
This study, a very fast Presto con fuoco, features continuous sixteenth notes, in perpetuum mobile fashion involving both hands. This etude is not polyphonic in nature however Chopin must have had a Bach Invention in mind when he composed this piece. Chopin scholar Robert Collet believes that the study "has more than a hint of something elemental, demoniacal and even sinister."
