I'm really confused when it comes to writing for trumpet and piano. I want to try composing original pieces for a friend and myself to play but this whole two different keys is really confusing me. I know that the trumpet is pitched to Bb whiles the piano is pitched to C. I set the key for the song to Eminor but on the trumpet staff, it is in the key of F#minor. I would be very grateful for anyone who could help me understand this better and how to compose for these two instruments.
