Premier solo de concert, trompette et piano

French composer, pianist and teacher, Paul Rougnon (1846-1934) studied at the Paris Conservatoire under many prolific musicians of the time, including César Franck. Rougnon's composition catalogue is extensive, with many works remaining popular to this day, including his First Concert Solo for Trumpet or Cornet and Piano.

The date of composition is unknown, however Rougnon's First Concert Solo displays characteristics of early, French romantic music, such as chromaticism, flourishing semiquaver passages, complex rhythms and extensive use of performance directions. For all advanced, aspiring Trumpetand Cornet players, Rougnon provides an alternative, exciting performance work.
