Trumpet Concerto
Joseph Hayden

This piece was composed in 1796, although it wasn’t performed until 1800, when the keyed trumpet was invented. This concerto was actually the first solo written specifically for the keyed trumpet, to show off the new achievements of the design compared to the Baroque trumpet. This three movement work is commonly performed on E-flat trumpet, although the B-flat trumpet is another popular option.
