Commissioned by the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra this concertino was originally conceived as a part of a complete educational concertprogram. Four concertini each featuring a different instrumental family within the chamber orchestra are played in succession to demonstrate the characteristic sounds of those instruments. The music is thematically related but not identical to the Concertino for Chamber Orchestra (parts available on rental from the publisher) which serves as the program's closer demonstrating all of theorchestral sections playing together. This program is suggested by the composer for orchestra concerts however each instrumental concertino can beperformed individually and stands quite effectively on its own as a short chamber recital piece.

For many years, the trumpet had played a rather subordinate role in Penderecki's work. In his symphony Seven Gates of Jerusalem, however, the instrument, in the form of the bass trumpet, was given, apart from cadences of Joseph Haydn's Concerto in E flat major, a brilliant part representing the voice of God. A similar task is assigned to the instrument in Symphony No. 8. In 2015, after 20 concert works for other solo instruments, Concertino was the first trumpet concerto composed by Penderecki.2 (2. auch Picc.) * 2 * 2 (2. auch Bassklar.) * Sopransax. * 2 (2. auch Kfg.) - 2 * 2 * 2 * 1 - S.
