Transposition at sight ranks as one of the most essential skills to be mastered by an orchestral trumpet player. Improving on 'the Bible of trumpet playing', each of Sachse's formidable etudes is presented in its original form side by side with Vacchiano's altered version, which indicates the phrase-by-phrase transposition needed (for Bb trumpet) to make the paired etudes sound the same. The Sachse etudes include the originally instructed keys into which the whole etude can be transposed (please note: written out transpositions for this manner are not provided).

Composer: Vacchiano, William
