Masterclass with Professor Reinhold Friedrich in which they work on the first movement of Tomasi's Concerto for trumpet and orchestra. This masterclass took place at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía, Madrid 2019 Student: Miho Kaneko, trumpet Accompanying pianist: Eriko Takezawa Venue: Sony Auditorium, Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía, Madrid (Spain) May 2019 Henri Tomasi - Trumpet Concerto (trumpet and piano reduction) - I. Allegro cadenza Abstract: For the initial cue, it is necessary to blow quickly without thinking on the high note because the required attack is very fast. The professor mentions how the performer must help herself by using the lips to reach the high tessitura. French tradition usually imposes to play fast passages alternated with slower ones, but in this case the air is always “vif”. Then they work on dynamics, metrical freedom, vibrato or phrasing for the fast descending passages, among other musical issues. Professor Friedrich also recommends not doing very big diminuendi in order to avoid losing the sound in the concert hall. Scherzando must not be exaggerated but progressing little by little. Besides, they speak about the sound ending, fermata and notes duration to get more expressivity and energy control. Finally, the professor explains how to perform the cadence. As per the performance, the professor congratulates the student. *********** By donating to the School, you help support the free tuition of more than 150 young great talents from all around the world, while we bring Classical music closer to society.
