Can anyone tell me who wrote the classical piece, Flight of the Bumble Bee? It was a favorite of my great-grandfather`s before he passed away and I would really like to know more about this piece(let alone hear it).

The original version was written by Rimsky Korsakov as was stated.

I believe Al Hurt wrote it for the Bb trumpet.

I`m sure that flight of the bumble bee was written by a guy named Rimskij-Korsakov (i think).

It`s also very difficult to play on trumpet...because there`s hardly anywhere to BREATHE!
