I'm not too familiar with many of these. I do like the Street Rondino and Song to the moon. The Vizzutti dances are quite fun, with two added bonuses. One they are in the syllabus for grades 7 and 8 so you should get plenty of future use out of it. It also comes with a cd for playalong at home

It's a pity that they seem to have moved Buster Strikes Back to grade 7. I love that piece and would definitely recommend it

Good luck with the grade

thanks will difinately look at those =) Any more recomendations welcome =)

Rusalkas Love Song To The Moon, to hear how this should be played get the recording by Phillip Mcann the legendry cornet player, I think he recorded this whilst playing for Black Dyke many years ago, if this does not make your hair stand on end then I do not know what will. what a sound the man getsfrom the cornet.

Wow just listened to that =O amazing sound! That is something to definately inspire to! =D

Told you so, how he gets that sound I will never know, seen P M when he played for Black Dyke and the Fairey Band when he was just a young man, come to thing of it so was I.

Love the Gregson Danse Macabre from List A
The Sparke Soliloquy from B is a great one too, very beautiful
You can't go wrong with a Vizutti Dance from Group C . . .well actually you can go very wrong as Vizutti is a madman but his pieces are always fun to play

Tchaikovsky Chanson Napolitaine, op. 39 no. 18 (from Second Book of Trumpet Solos) Faber
Bernstein Lucky to Be Me (from Leonard Bernstein for Trumpet) Boosey
Vizzutti Study no. 9 of Intermediate Etudes, p. 11


These are the three pieces that I am taking for the exam. My fav is the Vizzutti piece.
