I have a fair idea the original poster does not play the trumpet at all. He's composed or arranged some music that involves the trumpet and wants to know if it's reasonably playable. I tried clicking on his link, and it didn't work. In any case, my advice to him is first read about the trumpet in a good orchestration text, or better, several good orchestration texts. I recommend (in this order) Walter Piston's, Cecil Forsyth's, and Kent Kennon's. Then find a trumpet player and ask him to try to sight-read the part. Don't just rely on what the trumpet player says; have him try the part in front of you and listen carefully to the result. Failing this, take up the trumpet yourself. If you can't do any of these things, don't write for trumpet. In general, how long a trumpet can go without taking a breath or hurting his lip depends on how good the trumpet player is and how high the part is, but there's no firm rule.
