Hi everyone, I'm new here and I have a question.
I recommend you listen to the sound sample of the Roger Smalley Piano Concerto at
http://www.australianmusiccentre.com.au/workversion/smalley-roger-concerto-for-piano-and-orchestra/4863
First there's the piano smash, then another piano smash, a fleeting 8-semiquaver run, low brass, then a smash again. There is then a large pause, then a high trumpet cartoony sort of sound. This happens again after another piano smash.
How is that cartoony trumpet sound produced (what instrument combination, etc.)
Thanks.

hey
trumpet + straight mute - molto staccatto + marcato - reasonable high (around G I'm thinking in first) + winds in the upper partials (perhaps an Eb Clarinet) - tight harmony, diminished focused...but i don't have time to figure that out exactly - he is playing between octatonic mode and whole tone + chromatic - extensions of opening minor chord, which is scored like stravnsky does in Symphony of Psalms.
that's me best guess from 2 listens.

Hi there, thanks for the help. I was able to locate the score after a while, which was incredibly lucky, and you were close!
muted trumpets-oboes-flutes all playing the same triad.
Thanks,
Mark

I've heard the track already and I loved the arrangement. I like the way the tone/rhythm change from the piano smash to a sudden change of mood to a pause. This I must say, is one piece of art that would definitely start your mood right for the day. I just wish I had the funds to purchase the entire album. Could anyone lend me the money? Just kidding ;P
