This piece is a landmark in the advanced trumpet repertoire. I've played both the piano and trumpet parts and they are both quite difficult in their own ways. It's a magnificient work. Kennan was a fantastic writer.

My older brother played this when he was sophomore in high school. I always liked to hear him playing this song specifically because of the calm tone of this piece (and bc it lowkey sounds like super Mario galaxy music ☠️) vs the loud sounds a trumpet typically makes. I also marched with him for two years as a colorguard member while we were in school together. He’s now a freshman in college, now I’m a junior in hs and I listen to this song to comfort myself when I miss him. :))

This piece is very familiar both to trumpet players and to pianists who've earned a living playing for auditions at conservatories. The reason it is well-known among these groups is that it is a piece that is not terribly sophisticated musically, but still shows off a trumpet player's stamina and chops sufficiently enough that a panel of audition judges can swiftly ascertain a young trumpet player's basic ability on the instrument. It's also rather fun to play. No one, ever, except those living under some sort of delusion, has ever argued that it is a musical masterpiece, or that Mr. Kennan possessed the same compositional gifts as Mr. Hindemith (the similarities between the two are too obvious to even comment upon). Mr. Hindemith WAS a very influential composer in his later years (remember that he also taught composition at Yale), and so Mr. Kennan was not the only younger composer to borrow the surface materials from the older composer. This is a modest, enjoyable piece of music that has served a specific function since its birth. To criticize its worth is to point out the obvious, and yet also, somehow, to miss the point.

Very well put! These types of works are key to the progression of young players towards more complex repertoire both technically and musically.

Yeah, I'm gonna have of sort of disagree with you there...I believe this to be far superior to the Hindemith. Played both parts of that as well and hated it from both sides.
@nicholasfox9664 жыл бұрын
@@usmpiano Thank you for your comment. I was not referring specifically to the Hindemith Trumpet Sonata, or comparing both composer's Trumpet Sonatas. Rather, I was comparing Kennan to Hindemith in the broadest sense, as composers.

FYI, Kent Kennan was around 43 when he composed this Sonata and I've heard that it was his last major piece: he decided to dedicate his time to teaching and wrote the most used book in orchestration in the US. This is one of the best sonatas written for trumpet. Why would anyone compare general output and influence of Hindemith with someone else?
