The Viennese court trumpeter Anton Weidinger was the one who developed the keyed trumpet. On a Natural Trumpet it is only possible to play in a handful of related keys. Weidinger developed his own trumpet (and called it the "organized trumpet") that was able to play a Chromatic Scale . TONE OF THE KEYED TRUMPET Due to its physical characteristics (bore, bell, historical mouthpiece) the Keyed Trumpet is closer in tone to the Natural Trumpet than the valved trumpet. CONCERTOS FOR KEYED TRUMPET J. Haydn - trumpet concerto In 1796 Joseph Haydn wrote his Trumpet Concerto for Weidinger and it was performed on 28th of March 1800 at the Imperial and Royal Court Theatre. The piece begins with the broken triads and fanfare motifs common to trumpet music of the time (perhaps as a jibe to the audience who'd come to see this exciting new kind of trumpet), but follows with chromatic runs and diatonic melodies not possible on the valveless natural trumpet. J. N. Hummel - trumpet concerto Like Haydn, Hummel wrote this concerto for Weidinger. It was written and performed in 1803 to mark his entrance into the Esterházy court orchestra in 1804, following Haydn. There are places, primarily in the second movement, where Weidinger is believed to have changed the music because of the execution of the instrument. It is unknown whether this was in agreement with Hummel. |
