Which is harder to play clarinet or trumpet?
Compared with trumpet, clarinet is harder because you have all those extra keys and fingers you need to use to play all the notes. Trumpet is harder though because you only have three keys and fingers to play all the notes.
Are clarinet and trumpet music the same?
Saxophones, trumpets and clarinets are transposing instruments. Their notes do not match the pitches of the same notes on Concert key instruments like the piano, guitar, flute or violin. The note C played for example on a trumpet, a clarinet, a tenor sax or a soprano sax sounds like a Bb on the piano.

Embouchure and Tone
Short-term the saxophone is probably easier for most. Trumpet is definitely more painful and disrupts the embouchure more. However, it's by no means comfortable for saxophone players either.
