Grieg “Trumpet” Sonata

Written By Chris Coletti

Here’s my arrangement of Grieg’s 3rd violin sonata, mvt III, for trumpet (originally for violin and piano). This video is an excerpt of my first performance of it with the incredible Miriam Hickman (wife and accompanist of trumpet legend, Dave Hickman!):

This gem of a piece was originally for strings and harmonium, but translates perfectly for brass quintet. It plays as is Dvorak composed it just for us :)

I originally arranged this to be played at my wedding as a postlude to lead people towards the reception - instead they stayed and listened!

Inspired by composers such as Philip Glass, Steve Reiche, Tys Music and Brandon Ridenour, this flashy duet never stops! It takes advantage of finger combinations that sound harder than they are, enabling blazing speed and constant motion.

The world premiere was done at Rafael Mendez Summer Brass Institute 2024 in Denver, CO and was part of an ongoing experiment to create my own content using portable equipment many people already own. Video and audio was recorded with 3 common devices: an iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 11, and iPad Pro 12.9. Video editing was done in DaVinci Resolve (FREE professional software - I highly recommend it!).
