Description
Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) composed his CONCERTO FOR TRUMPET in E-flat, Hob.VIIe: 1 for the trumpet virtuoso Anton Weidinger. Weidinger was dissatisfied with the limited range of the "natural trumpet" as the instrument was then constructed, so he invented a new seven-keyed version on which the player could play a full chromatic scale. Weidinger's version of the instrument was briefly popular but declined in popularity with the invention of the currently used valved trumpet in the 1820s. Haydn's CONCERTO FOR TRUMPET in E-flat premiered in March 1800 in Vienna with Weidinger as the soloist. Instrumentation: 2.2.0.2: 2.2.0.0: Timp: Str (4.4.3.3.3 in set): Solo Tpt in set. This edition by Hans Ferdinand Redlich includes his original score and newly engraved parts, both with new rehearsal numbers added. Horns and trumpets are available in both the original and transposed keys.

More about this title

About the Composer: Franz Joseph Haydn

Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) spent nearly three decades as Kapellmeister to the Esterházy court, a position that shaped him into one of the most prolific and inventive composers of the Classical era. His willingness to embrace new instruments and compositional challenges made him a natural collaborator with innovators; when Anton Weidinger developed the keyed trumpet, Haydn responded with a concerto that exploited the instrument's revolutionary capabilities.

Haydn's output spans symphonies, string quartets, masses, and concertos across nearly every genre of his time. His influence on Mozart and Beethoven was profound, yet his own works remain central to orchestral and chamber music repertoire. For music educators, Haydn exemplifies structural clarity, harmonic sophistication, and the craft of writing idiomatically for performers.

Why we love this

This concerto captures a crucial moment in trumpet history, written specifically to showcase an instrument's newfound capabilities. The solo part demands virtuosity while the orchestration remains elegant and transparent, giving conductors a chance to program a genuine historical document that sounds fresh to modern audiences. Few works bridge technical display and genuine artistic substance as successfully.

What to expect

Brilliant and graceful, with moments of genuine drama set within Classical proportion. The solo trumpet sings with newly liberated brilliance, leaping across registers and executing rapid scalar passages that were impossible on the natural trumpet. The orchestration provides elegant support without overwhelming the soloist, creating a sense of triumph in human ingenuity.

Who it's for

Advanced trumpet soloists capable of handling the concerto's range and virtuosic demands, paired with a conductor and orchestra experienced in Classical repertoire. This is standard repertoire for trumpet competitions, advanced high school programs, and professional orchestras seeking to program the Classical trumpet canon.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the solo trumpet against the classical orchestra forces; Haydn's transparent textures reward clarity over sheer volume from the strings.
  • Work with your trumpet soloist on the exposed high passages and rapid figuration, which test both technical facility and endurance.
  • Use the rehearsal numbers provided in this edition to coordinate parts efficiently across a large ensemble.
  • Attend to the character shifts between the formal opening and more playful sections; Haydn's wit depends on precise articulation and dynamic control.

How to use it

Pair this with other Classical concertos for a themed concert, or program it as a centerpiece in a trumpet-focused concert. Its premiere date (1800) makes it an excellent programming choice when exploring the early 19th century or as a bridge between Mozart and later Romantic concerti. The historical context of the keyed trumpet enriches both concert notes and preconcert discussions.

  • High-register facility and extended range on trumpet
  • Rapid scalar passages and ornamental figuring in Classical style
