Rafael Méndez (March 26, 1906 - September 15, 1981) was a popular virtuoso solo trumpeter. As a young child in his native Mexico, Mendez was the cornetist for Pancho Villa.[1] Mendez is legendary for his tone, range and technique. His most famous recording, "Moto Perpetuo," was written by Niccolò Paganini for violin and features Mendez double tonguing continuously for over 4 minutes while circular breathing to give the illusion that he is not taking a natural breath while playing. <a href="http
