Trumpetunia for Trumpet and Piano", crafted by Roger Boutry, is a sophisticated piece intended for proficient players at the upper-intermediate level or higher, written to be performed with either a C or Bb trumpet accompanied by a piano.
This harmonious composition begins with an "Allegro" introduction, and then elegantly transitions into three core segments: the "Andantino", "Allegro Vivace", and "Allegretto". The opening "Andantino" section is marked by a noteworthy cadenza, while the second part, the "Allegro Vivace", possesses a more lyrical tone and incorporates segments with the sourdine. The final "Allegretto" section infuses a greater rhythmic syncopation leading up to the melodious finale.
Roger Boutry, born in France in 1932, was a recipient of numerous accolades, including awards for piano, composition, and conducting. He was distinguished with the Grand Prix de Rome in 1954. Boutry led a rich career, balancing roles as a harmony professor, composer, and conductor, and received widespread recognition for his extraordinary musical compositions.
