Gabriele Cassone
The Trumpet Book (in english)

The Trumpet Book, the English edition of the celebrated La Tromba by Italian trumpet virtuoso Gabriele Cassone, is a thoroughly researched, beautifully illustrated volume by one of the great performers of our time. With more than 400 color photos and musical examples, the book offers a comprehensive history of the instrument and survey of its repertoire. Cassone provides an insider’s view of trumpet technique, from Baroque performance practice to extended techniques in contemporary music. The companion CD includes virtuoso performances by Cassone of masterworks on historical and modern instruments. The Trumpet Book CD is an audio portrait of the evolution of the trumpet and its repertoire, with recordings of masterworks from the Baroque to Contemporary eras, using five different instruments: natural trumpet, keyed trumpet, alto trumpet in D, cornet, and modern C trumpet. This companion disc, compiled exclusively for readers of The Trumpet Book, includes studio and live recordings that were previously unreleased or were not commercially available.
