Hey everyone!
This week I’m playing the 2nd Movement of the Haydn Trumpet Concerto
The concerto was composed in 1796 for trumpeter Anton Weidinger. Weidinger invented the keyed trumpet, a much more versatile instrument than the natural trumpet which preceded it. The concerto was a great success in its time, however critics of the keyed trumpet complained about the quality of sound that was produced. It was only another 20 or so years before the first valve trumpets were invented.
Thanks for listening!
Oh and for those who are interested, I had my audition a couple days ago with the excerpts I played in the week #53 open mic competition (plus others as well) and it was great! Even nailed that last note! :D

Nice job, @fred101! Let me ask, have you ever heard Wynton Marsalis' recording of the Haydn Horn Concerto? It's pretty amazing.

Definitely! I love Wynton's playing so much. If you want to hear something really awesome listen to him playing Moto Perpetuo:

That's crazy good. All in one breath too. LOL. I don't follow trumpet much (I'm more into keyboard work), but Wynton is definitely my favorite. His phrasing is absolutely smooth.

Yeah it's called circular breathing, a technique where you can breathe in while still blowing out. It's tricky to learn and is mostly only used to play long notes, so it's really spectacular to do what hesdoing there.
