Tommo's on it. I'll leave it to him, because he needs the rush.  Cheesy

Isn't it weird, though, how a solo trumpet is only evocative of either American or Italian national flavour? Unless you count Herb Alpert and Tijuana Brass.

Well before Martle gets in with it, how about Respighi Pines of Rome for 164?

Tommo

To increase the tension, can you name which one? (movement, not pine!)  Cheesy

You tormentor!

Actually the straight answer is 'No', and I do feel guilty nicking points from Mr Martle.  (But I shall go and get my LP and start searching.....)

See, that's what I can't face doing, Tommo. It's downstairs, buried in a pile. And I just know you'll beat me to it.  Tongue

Excuse me, but what about Honegger's Second Symphony. The trumpet in that is pretty evocative, but not of Italy or America. Well not to me, anyway.

I've always got food on the brain! Grin
Both ex-girlfriends saw my obsession with food as being slightly unhealthy, but they obviously have terrible taste so what do they know? Wink

Ah, small problem.  This is where I find out that my LP of Resphigi's Rome series is in fact a Melodyia recording from 1980 with a sleeve which is entirely in Russian, except for the 4 words "Respighi", "Shostakovich", "Yevgeni" and "Svetlanov".  (Mr Grew may like to notice that this is the exact spelling of "Shostakovich" on a Russian produced record..... Wink)

And from a quick selection of places to place the needle, I cannot isolate anything which sounds like 164.  Perhaps the closest is something from the end of movement 3.

And I will be gutted if it is Walton 1 - I thought I knew that!

Mmmmm, now that sounds a good place to start for the Respighi...

Trojan? As long as it's not an American one, hh  Wink

And the Walton 1 (iv) was a riposte to the trumpet solo comments, Tommo, not an answer to an example I've not even heard (I'm trying to stay away from the test, because it would just swallow all of my time).

Fear not, Tommo. The Walton and Honegger were cited as non-American, non-Italian evocative uses of the solo trumper, (though one might question this in the case of Walton, might one not?). Wink

In what way, Bryn? It was written way before Walton was living on Ischia.

Oh bottoms.  Why did I only see this after I had made the same guess....?

I was thinking of various things for 164. Quiet City?

Especially with that lone trumpet, Ollie, but no. It's not by Copland at all.

Not my day today    Embarrassed

Ah, but his viola concerto is said to have been influenced by Berlioz's Harold in Italy, and the viola concerto predated the First Symphony by some years, did it not. Wink
