Pianist Marina Gorelaya and trumpeter Ralph Dudgeon will collaborate on a recital of trumpet and piano music associated with the career of the Moscow trumpeter, Timofei Dokshizer (1921-2005). The concert will be in the Dowd Theater on the SUNY Cortland campus at 8 pm on 2 November. “I first heard Dokshizer’s playing on bootleg records that were circulated among trumpeters during the cold war,” Dudgeon said. “Later as things opened up a little, I heard him live when he toured the USA. I always admired his soulful expressive interpretations and his flawless technical skills. Recently, I learned that we share a few branches of a pedagogical family tree in the so-called Russian School of trumpet playing. My primary trumpet mentor, John Clyman, studied with a Russian emigrant named Vladimer Drucker in Los Angeles. Drucker was an early student of the legendary Mikhail Tabakov who much later was also the teacher of Timofei Dokshizer.” This musical connection was the inspiration for the program. Each selection is either a Dokshizer arrangement or a piece that is associated with his long career as a trumpeter. Composers represented on the program will include Nikolay Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov, Alexander Kartzev, Rodion Shchedrin, Alexander Arutunian, Oskar Böhme and Alexander Goedicke. The program will also feature several Russian selections for piano solo and a special Dokshizer arrangement of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue for trumpet and piano.
