Are you a city or a country person?
This raises the question: What is “the city”?
Can this living space be described so easily with one word?
Cities are usually colorful, offer a variety of impressions for all the senses and often contain enormous contrasts within their borders that fit together seamlessly. No two neighborhoods are the same. Every street has its own face, perhaps even its own rules – but definitely its own groove.
The “City Streets Suite” brings us a selection of impressions that reflect life on “the streets of the city” in its four movements: Gates Of The City, Rush Hour, Lonely Road Lullaby and Waltzing On Broadway.
The young people who dedicate themselves to making music in an ensemble with this work will immediately sense the mood that is intended to be expressed from the titles of the four movements.
This inspiring piece is intended to enrich the young trumpet world and is wonderfully suitable for auditions, as part of a concert or for competitions such as "Jugend Musiziert" and "Prima la Musica".
And so I wish all young musicians much joy and success with the work and would like to take this opportunity to thank the trumpet teacher and university lecturer Katharina Bertsch-Weber for the impetus for this composition.
Many thanks to Rundel Publications for the excellent cooperation in publishing the "City Streets Suite".
