If it is just the title of the piece (Egyptian Trumpet in B) then maybe there is nothing to transpose. The piece might be written in the key of B.jaysne said:I am playing a part that is marked "Egyptische Trompete in H".
I am assuming this means trumpet in B.
What do I need to do to my part to play it in the proper key if I am playing Bb trumpet?
Thanks for your help!
jbtsax said:When any instrument plays the note "C", it is the same pitch on the piano as the note that is part of the instrument's name. For example when a "Bb" trumpet plays "C" it is the same as a Bb on the piano. When a "B" trumpet plays its "C" a "B" sounds on the piano---a half-step higher than the Bb trumpet. With this information you should be able to figure out the transposition yourself.
