| Abstract | Timofei Dokshizer, the legendary, world-famous Russian trumpeter, was trumpet soloist with the Bolshoi Theater Orchestra for over 40 years. He is internationally heralded for his spectacular recordings and over 80 musical arrangements and works for trumpet. Dokshizer was in demand throughout the world as a soloist, adjudicator, and clinician. In his memoirs, he recounts experiences and philosophies, both musical and personal, liberally sprinkled with stories and anecdotes about his family, fellow musicians, conductors, and life in Russia during the Soviet regime. |
