Peeters - Sonata Op. 51

Sonata Op. 51 contains three movements, each with some tonal ambiguity. The first movement uses ascending octave jumps as a main motive. The second movement is very slow and tests the performer's breath control and phrasing. The final movement is very fast and requires light repeated tonguing and fast fingers.

Range: G below the staff to C above the staff

Pennequin - Morceau de Concert

Morceau de Concert tests the performer's technical and musical abilities while staying within less than two octaves. Challenges in this piece include intervals up to an octave, scalar runs, fast lip slurs, and alignment when the piano and trumpet parts are offset from each other. This solo also lends ample opportunities for use of rubato.

Range: B below the staff to A above the staff
