Alfred Music Publishing Ultimate Movie Solos Trumpet

Most of the songs are really good picks. A few, while being iconic, beautiful pieces of music, don't actually make good solos (like Duel of the Fates). But overall the selection is quite decent.

The songs are made more accessible for beginners by printing an octave-shifted counterpart of the more difficult notes below the note itself. This in itself would be a very nice and considerate thing, but it's annoying how the simplified (and musically inferior) version is handled as default: the demo tracks play these and they are also bigger in print.

The attached digital content is very good with demo recordings, playalongs and piano accompaniments and it comes DRM-free. The only nitpick here that it would be better shipped on an SD card or as a digital download; having an optical drive is not a given anymore.

Overall, I'm satisfied with this purchase. Aside from some minor flaws, it's a great book.
