Special thanks to Vincent Chichowicz, Lawrence house and Edward Treutel for compiling over 142 various audition lists which helped me in recording the "Top Twenty" most requested excerpts. Some of the excperts recorded here can be found in Rob Roy McGregor's volumes of "Audition and Performance Preparation for Trumpet; Orchestra Literature Studies." His added insight of written commentary and trumpet studies makes these books a must for all serious students.
