Working at the Aria from Bach’s Christmas Oratorio! I always like to practice the written part first and then repeat with some (admittedly, gratuitous) ornamentation. The ornamentation may not get used in performance but I find it to be a useful vehicle to ‘free up’ my playing (one scale proving to be a little too ‘free’ in this instance 😂). Thanks for watching! Ps. This was on my Schilke P7-4 piccolo trumpet with a Warburton 5MC/6 mouthpiece 🎺 | Trumpet Brain
