It’s got one of the orchestra’s most distinctive voices. And, happily, it has had some wonderful music dedicated to it. Yes, the trumpet<\/a><\/strong> has been blessed with some beautiful repertoire, whether it be orchestral, concerto<\/a><\/strong>, chamber music or solo instrumental. Here are some examples of the best trumpet music in the classic literature.<\/p>

Best trumpet music: trumpet concertos<\/h2>

Haydn: Trumpet Concerto<\/h3>

Haydn<\/a><\/strong> is perhaps best known for his (very many) symphonies and string quartets<\/a><\/strong>, but in fact he composed with great facility across a number of forms. These include many concertos – most famously, perhaps, the two Cello Concertos<\/a><\/strong> and the Trumpet Concerto.<\/p>

  • The greatest cello concertos of all time<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>

    This work was composed in 1796 for the trumpet virtuoso\u00a0Anton Weidinger<\/strong><\/a>. It’s become one of the cornerstones of the trumpet repertoire, along with the two concertos that follow it in this list. <\/p>

    The first movement is bright and joyous; the Andante<\/a><\/em><\/strong> middle movement has an eloquent melody<\/a><\/strong> for the soloist; and the Allegro<\/em><\/a><\/strong> finale returns to the joy and exuberance of the opening movement. Haydn is so often an uplifting composer, and the Trumpet Concerto is a supreme example of the sunniness that pervades much of his music. <\/p>
