Yeas, that´s right. Sometime ago I heard a pretty young (and good)trumpet player playing some modern piece which was really entertaining ( I don´t remember the composer) in a European solist competition (btw. it was the final phase). It propably wouldn´t be so difficult to play with the clarinet, but really hard to play on trumpet, because you have to think before what note you will play and then do something with your mouth to play it out (The same thing as when playing french horn). And it is so hard to play those fast notes so that the intonation doesn´t suffer. After the performance the audience gave him a big hand (for a reason).

I don´t care really, but if some really hard piece can be made to look easy, that is something! If you listen Paganini´s caprices played lightly and someone could make them sound almost easy, then it´s so fun to listen!
