Bicinia - unaccompanied duos - have been known to us from the fifteenth century onwards. So quite early on it was customary tu practise this type of musical exercise, which later, especially during the Romantic period, achieved great popularity as the duo or duett. Equal numbers of this sort of instrumental duo were composed for nearly all wind and string instruments. On the other hand, only a small amount of compositions for two trumpets have come down to us. In order to play any music which progresses beyond pure fanfare on a natural (valueless) trumpet, it is necessary to make use of the clarion register (the top third of the natural harmonic). And if such a melody is to be accompanied by a second part, only the few natural notes lying below it are left, or else this high register itself, which calls for great virtuosity on the part of the trumpeter. As well as this, we must remember the fact that trumpet-playing was only allowed for the trumpeters of a royal court, army, staff, or for the field-trumpeter of a prince, plus a few council, city, and church musicians, who were bound by strict guild and corporation rules. Thus in spite of the preference for its festive sound, the spread and handing down of trumpet music was almost reduced to nothing under these circumstances. As well as this, pride of place and profession rivalry and envy amongst musicians contributed in large part. In England the situation was somewhat freer. Here pretty little trumpet duos originated, including, amongst others, those written by Handel for his master-trumpeter Valentin Snow and the Royal Sergeant-trumpeters of the Shore family. An especially happy exception was the diocese of Olmiitz. Here there was a capable group of musicians of the chapel royal with the brilliantly talented group of trumpeters and the field-trumpeter Pavel Vajvanovsky, who also composed himself. These trumpeters in the service of his prince-bishop played many sacred and secular pieces, all for several instruments. It was for them also that Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber wrote the 12 double trumpet sonatas we present here. On the other hand, the representatives of the authorities in Germany ensured strict observation of all edicts and regulations. Even the celebrated Bach-trumpeter and towm-piper Gottfried Reiche was never allowed to be portrayed with a proper trumpet due to the priveleges of court and field trumpeters. In order to represent him as one of the greatest masters of his time and art, however, the painter placed an instrument similar to a corno-di-caccia in his hand, together with a sheet with a small piece for virtuoso clarion. When we try in spite of these difficulties and adverse circumstances to gather a collection of musically valuable and characteristic examples of popular pieces for two trumpets from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it is in the first, place in order to acquaint modern trumpeters with something of the wealth of music, which can also be well played on a modern trumpet with valves. The originally used trumpets correspond to modern ones in the keys of C and D, but this does not mean that many of the pieces cannot be transposed to a more comfortable register. On top of this, we have tried to give a picture of the baroque court and field trumpeter, as well as of the mysterious clarion trumpeter, with the help of musically popular material. The origin of most of the pieces used is no longer clearly discernable. In most cases we possess second- or third-hand copies which have been handed down, and show signs of frequent use. A few cases where modernization of the second part obviously did not take place until the invention of stops, have been re-shaped into their supposed original form. A series of further dynamic details were left, and marked as optional suggestions in brackets. Kurt Janetzkyz.T. mit Pauken und B.c.

“Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) is best known for his Carnival of the Animals and Organ Symphony. Yet, his Fantasy in E flat major arranged for Cornet or Trumpet and Piano remains popular in the advanced repertoire for the instruments. Saint-Saëns entered the Paris Conservatoire at the mere age of thirteen, where he studied Organ and composition. He then went on to have a successful career as an organist and composer, writing his Fantasy in E flat major in 1857. The piece was originally composed for the Organ, but Henri Busser (1872-1973) recognised the work's significance and arranged it for Cornet or Trumpet with Piano accompaniment. To this day, Fantasy in E flat major remains prominent in the advanced brass player's repertoire.â€.

“For Bb Cornet or Bb Trumpet with Piano accompaniment, Fantasy was composed by Francis Thomé. Written for the Paris Conservatoire contest in 1902, this piece is very musical and quite challenging and would fit upper intermediate players. This piece can sound quite dramatic but is very melodious too and can be considered as an important addition to the repertoire for Trumpet and Cornet. Francis Thomé (1850-1909) was a French pianist and a composer. He wrote some operas, some ballets, some operettas and some pantomimes.â€.

This piece was written in the wake of the trumpet concerto 'Eirene'. Both pieces were composed by Willi for the trumpeter Reinhold Friedrich who raves about the concerto: 'There is an inexplicable magic in this magnificent light/space work which gives both the audience and the musicians great inner pleasure.'This magic, however, is created by ascetic rather than romantic and lavish means. Willi composed a series of brief musical actions, tone repetitions and short flitting snatches of melody. Wind players who are familiar with all kinds of playing techniques are given much room for their own artistic interpretation.

There is a dearth of short, romantic trumpet pieces of intermediate grade that challenge and inspire players who already feel secure both in their technique and powers of interpretation. The reissue of Legend by R. Orlando Morgan (1865-1956) will therefore be greatly welcomed, as music enriched by the passionate harmonies of Tchaikovsky and even of Wagner, in an idiom that is graceful and sure. Though largely forgotten, the composer was one of many whose artful command of classical styles earned them respect in their lifetimes, neglect thereafter on account of changing fashions and now, with yet another swing of the pendulum of taste, the chance for re-evaluation today.
