Selected Duets for Trumpet, Page 16 Number 12, Merrily, performed by David Summer. This second duet by Metger, while not strictly a cannon, contains many imitative passages. It's a happy sounding duet, clearly living up to it's tempo marking, "Merrily". Again, since the second trumpet part is rhythmically different from the first trumpet and is often "just behind" the first trumpet, a student can find this duet a special challenge to play with the teacher. But, that's partly what this podcast is about.

The metronome setting for this performance is quarter note = 126.
