classical trumpet?!
Thanks to Dustbury, I've just heard something I never expected - a trumpet playing classical music. Just a quick listen to the mini-website version of Paganini's Caprice by Alison Balsom is enough to make me buy the cd - and you can listen by clicking on her name. My classical music purist aunt might have been appalled at the idea of transcribing the Caprice for trumpet, but I think it's cool and quite lovely. Besides, shouldn't we stretch our imaginations in as many ways as possible??

Yes, but it's usually sedate stuff like Purcell. This is SO different.

And I'm not always crystal clear about what I mean! Sorry!!!

No - but now I'll try to listen.

And do you know jazz violin? It's another outside-the-box thing that I like.
