(Curnow Play-Along Book). Grades 4 - 6 Performed by Philip Smith Advanced Concert Studies for Trumpet contains the same musical and technical challenges found in the original Concert Studies for Trumpet, 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 of the New York Philharmonic. Also included is a CD of Philip Smith performing these studies. (Featured composers: James Barnes, Bruce Broughton, Stephen Bulla, James Curnow, Eric Ewazen, Timothy Johnson, Greg Pascuzzi, David Sampson, Phil Snedecor, Joseph Turrin, Allen Vizzutti, and Ellen Taaffe Zwilich,)
