Regardless of the register, my goal is to focus on sound quality. ——-/-/-///——- Independientemente del registro, mi objetivo es centrarme en la calidad del sonido. Arturo Sandoval. 10-14-2023
At this stage of my life, having played music for 62 years, I have played slowly, fast, very fast, low, high, and extremely high notes. Now I’m just focused on playing pretty, with a round and pleasant sound, concentrating on the expression; that is, singing with the instrument is what pleases me the most. “Stella By Starlight” Victor Young, composer. 10-28-23.
I just improvised this little melody. I was only paying attention to the sound’s uniformity.
#Trumpet #sound A little improvised melody.
En una noche como hoy 27 de Octubre del 2010, recibí la peor noticia de mi vida, mi querida madre había fallecido. Hoy quiero dedicarle esta pequeña melodía con todo mi corazón a la mujer que le debo la vida. Mami no ha pasado un día en que no haya pensado en ti, te extraño muchísimo, me has hecho mucha falta, pero se que estás muy cerca de Dios junto a mi querido padre cuidándonos desde el cielo. (“Cirita” a new composition dedicated to my dear mom)
