The First Day of Summer for flute, violin, viola and 'cello, performed by Iwona Glinka, flute; Yaroslav Tokarev, violin; Ilias Sdoukos, viola; and Renato Ripo, 'cello.  This recording is from the album "Teth", released on the Phasma Music label (distributed by Naxos)in 2021.

"The First Day of Summer" got its title because it was completed on the first day of Summer, June 21, 2019. It starts out with an easy-going blues-styled theme, reminding us of the slower-paced summer days to come. During the course of the work, there are more dramatic and intense sections, evoking the passion and excitement generated by the summer heat.

Even as a small child I wanted to learn a musical instrument...

...since there was a music school in our small town where I grew up, but it was limited to the activities of the local musicians' band, the choice was rather limited... because piano, guitar or saxophone were not offered and that's why I decided me for the trumpet, which was not used for cast-technical reasons, so the FLÜGELHORN became my instrument...
In my youth I turned my back on music and was active in sports towards the end of my teenage years...

My bandcamp page is getting out of date again, but some older albums there can be downloaded for free or for a name-your-own price donation.

If anyone wants to try performing any of this stuff on real instruments please send a message and I can provide scores. Not sure how playable some of it is for human musicians though.
