Analysis of the 20th century United States of America and Russia trumpet schools ; XX a. Jungtinių Amerikos Valstijų ir Rusijos trimito mokyklų analizė
The paper presents the most prominent 20th century trumpet teachers of the United States (V. Cichowicz, W. Vacchiano) and Russia (Y. Bolshiyanov, T. Dokshizer), which best reflect the trumpet schools of these countries. In both schools of trumpet, both in the United States and Russia, playing the trumpet is united by a look through an artistic prism, an effort to copy and align its phrasing to vocalists and string players, and to keep up with virtuosity. Trumpet teachers in the United States paid close attention to the technological side of playing, breathing and articulation, doing everything they could to make it easier to achieve the result. Russian trumpet teachers, meanwhile, paid close attention to finding an individual method of engaging each trumpet player. Also important for trumpet teachers in the United States was musical artistic interpretation, for which sound, its concept and work with sound were crucial, while Russian trumpet teachers focused specifically on preparing trumpet players to play in symphony orchestras and prepare for the challenges ahead.
