my musical influences

For me, I have two kinds of the people that have influences for me. The first person is Gustav Mahler, he influenced me in term of "Symphony music"
Gustav Mahler is a composer in the late of 19th century. He considered to be the leading of
orchestral. He has been recognized as one of the most important late romantic composers of classical music. While alive however, his music was disregarded in Vienna but has since taken on a life of its own. Composing mostly symphonies. The most famous symphony is The symphony no.1(Titan) but I also like symphony no.5
I think Mahler is very genius person in the sense of creativity. The second is Phillip Smith, He is the principal
trumpet of New York Philharmonic Orchestra. For me he is prototype for the young trumpet student to imitate.
In his life he have done in every task of music, namely Orchestra player, Wind Ensembles, Brass Ensemble,teaching,Soloist, recording artist, and kinds of freelance. I wish to be succeed like this person. As every trumpet player know he is famous in term of Orchestra work moreover he have the excerpt CD for student who want to know more how to play each orchetra except as well. I also have it, just awesome!!!!
