Many years of working together, particularly with brass players, gave me the desire to write an entertaining, contemporary work that would be fun for professionals, but especially for young performers, also with regard to \"Jugend musiziert\" (age groups 3'4), to be able to shine with a technically challenging work and to awaken in them a desire for something new. The tonal character, modelled freely in keeping with the spirit of the times, creates familiarity in all movements, with the \u003ci\u003eBlues\u003c\/i\u003e even taking a detour into \"jazz\". By using different mutes, special tone colours are exploited on the trumpet. All these translucent characteristics \"in stile di Divertimento\" guarantee a consistently self-explanatory approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the first movement - in free reference to the sonata form - three themes are juxtaposed. A fanfare theme corresponding to the character of the trumpet dominates the two more lyrical, song-like secondary themes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eBlues\u003c\/i\u003e takes up idiomatic turns of phrase from jazz, e.g. the walking bass and small motif building blocks called 'licks', and deforms them in favour of modern means of expression. The familiar 12-bar blues scheme is dispensed with; formally and harmonically, the \u003ci\u003eBlues\u003c\/i\u003e seeks its own path.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat shall we do with the Drunken Sailor\u003c\/i\u003e, a famous shanty, is the protagonist of the third movement. The triadic shifts derived from the melody and the final pentatonic melodic cadence generate numerous metamorphoses under toccata-like accompaniment patterns. A splash of virtuosity is not to be missed in the final movement as a means of escalation and the motoric and rousing basic ductus maintains the cheerful attitude until the end. Buon divertimento!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI would like to thank my long-time friend and interpreter of the first performance Manfred Bockschwaiger for some valuable advice.\u003cbr\u003ePeter Wittrich, in May 2025\u003c\/p\u003e  Sonata burlesca  Composer: Peter Wittrich Publisher: Schott Music Instrument: Trumpet Pages: 36","brand":"Schott Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51882414637341,"sku":"TR36","price":79.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/2092\/9309\/files\/TR36.jpg?v=1781602864","url":"https:\/\/scarlettmusic.com.au\/products\/wittrich-sonata-burlesca-for-trumpet-and-piano-36-pages-schott-music","provider":"Scarlett Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
