Charlier Etude No. 4 Du Style Piano Acco

Piano Two internationally acclaimed trumpeters, Pierre Thibaud and Jean-Marie Cottet, happened to be discussing the fundamental Etudes Transcendantes by Charlier and wondered whether the trumpet world might not be a far better place if there were piano accompaniments to all 36 Etudes. We need wonder no more! Over the span of 15 years, Cottet has composed piano accompaniments for the Charlier, now published by Balquhidder under individual covers. These are the piano parts only, intended to be used with the Leduc edition, but trumpet students and performers can pick and choose the etudes they want, whether for study or for concert performance. These accompaniments naturally cover a broad range of style and "feel."
