This 1940's Czechoslovakia rotary-valve trumpet used here had been manufactured in the city of Brno. With a seam running down the brass bell, plus unique rotating valve system, it gave off a warm and sliding tone, inspiring this tune and my lazy lip. Premiered here during my
VCU Composition Recital (2001), it was never performed again: me on trumpet with pianist
Amy Daugherty Wenninger.

Every time when I'm listen to the song I really got this Czech impression. It combines (for me) the darkness, sadness but also joy and trust towards better times. It is a relief!
I found this feelings so often in East-Europen countries.
*Marvellous*
