Bach, Johann Sebastian: Bach Dances for Trumpet & Piccolo

Carmelo Barranco's transcription of “Bach Dances for the Trumpet & Piccolo Trumpet” includes excerpts of Bach's Minuettos, Gavottes, Polonaise, Bourees, Sarabands, Hymns, and Marches. This is a rare and intriguing book because it is laid out in such a way as to allow for performance of these works on both the Bb/C trumpet as well as the piccolo trumpet. Younger players can enjoy the challenge of performing these pieces in a comfortable range, while advanced players can work up to the top of the staff on the A piccolo, very suitable to the time period and intention of the music.
