Roger T. Petrich (1938-2022) dedicated his three-movement Sonatina for Trumpet and Piano, a work from 1962 to his father. The introductory first movement recalling the ritornello form is followed by a quiet, slow movement. The recurring tone repetitions lend the third movement the character of a fanfare.

Petrich studied composition with Pulitzer prizewinning composer Leo Sowerby and under Ernst Pepping in Berlin.

The Sonatina was recorded by trumpeter Paul Neebe and organist Ulrich Knoerr in 2003. The CD is titled Te Deum under the label MDG.

The 10 minute long work is appropriate for moderately advanced performers.

Parts are available for B-flat and C trumpet.

The beautiful recording of excerpts from the Sonatina is by Trumpeter Paul Neebe and Pianist Ulrich Knoerr.
