A concert in which the works for trumpet and piano moved the public with their vitality and freshness, was offered on Saturday, at Casa Haas.
German musician Otto Sauter, ranked among the ten best trumpet players in the world, witnessed the progress of his students, to whom he gave a masterclass on trumpet technique for a week.
Soloists Elías Esparza Osuna, Román Urban, Daniel Apolinar, Rafael Conde de la Rosa and Sebastián Cedillo, students of the Music School of the Mazatlán Municipal Arts Center, delighted the public with the best of their incipient repertoire.
Maestro Eduardo Pérez participated as a guest pianist.
Outstanding flutist Frida Fernández welcomed and introduced the artists of the night. She explained that with this performance, the students culminated a week of intense training by maestro Otto Sauter.
Trumpet classes began at five in the morning in front of the sea and continued four hours later at Casa Haas.
The concert brought together works that were polished with experience, daily practice and the high level of expertise of maestro Sauter, who with his eyes closed and at times staring at the stage, seemed to enjoy the performance of each of his students.
The repertoire was made up of: poetic waltz by the Mexican composer Felipe Villanueva; Romance by Rafael Mendez; Goedicke’s Concerto Study for Trumpet; Martini’s Tocatta in D major; Besame Mucho by Consuelito Velázquez; Leroy Anderson’s A Trumpeters Lullaby; Oskar Boheme and Andante et Allegro by Guy Ropartz.
At the end of their performance, the young musicians and the German trumpeter Otto Sauter received generous applause from the public and recognition from the Municipal Instituto de Cultura, Turismo y Arte de Mazatlán, for their participation in the trumpet course and for their artistic merits.
