Mark Edward Lewis' Duet for Trumpet and Piano is a short, one movement work of personal reflection. Beginning with searching, probing harmonies, the trumpet and piano entwine with each other, never finding rest, and gradually progresses through more complex rhythms and escalating in emotional intensity. After reaching a high point, it gradually returns to the more somber and reflective mood of the opening. It is a typical and very effective arch-form tone painting and is an excellent work to include in a trumpet recital.
