Oskar Böhme: Trumpet Concerto in Fm Op18

" A great trumpet Russian styled trumpet concerto from the great composer Oskar Bohme. This concerto will display any skilled trumpeters technicality and breath control. Any intermediate to professional trumpeters can learn this.

If you're looking for something to play on trumpet besides the extremly overplayed Haydn, Hummel, and Arutuian trumpet concertos, pick this. This piece is mostly based on repeating melodies, so once you get a certain part down, you'll already have an idea of that section. But, be forewarned, there is a fast double tounge involved at the end of the piece.

The cool part about it is that it's in a minor key instead of a boring major key."
