Hooked on Frenetics (Trumpet & Piano), Dr. Daniel Thrower

Composed by Dr. Daniel Thrower. Duration: 1:30. The apt frenzied title "Hooked on Frenetics" plays on the name of a popular educational tool "Hooked on Phonics", which teaches young children how to read. This extraordinarily difficult showpiece displays about 500 notes from the solo trumpet in just over a minute and works well as an encore piece at a solo recital or concert. The fiery technique is impressive, guaranteed to draw an animated response from an already enthused audience! Caution: it requires focused effort to work up. This version has piano reduction from the original instrumentation for concert band, available as GMP6004. See also GMP3018 for the brass quintet version.
