Edited by Robert P. Block make it possible to play the work both on a B-flat trumpet as well as on a D instrument. The Concerto in D was published around 1715 in a collective edition that comprised six concerti and mentioned three composers' names, one of them being Giuseppe Torelli, to whom the work can be attributed unequivocally on stylistic grounds. Particularly striking is the fact that the parts of the two violins are sometimes worked out in a more virtuoso manner than that of the solo trumpet, which is only called for in the outer movements.

The edition for trumpet and piano contains two solo parts, which make it possible to play the work both on a B-flat trumpet as well as on a D instrument.

Giuseppe Torelli was born in Verona, Italy in 1658. He was a famous violinist, teacher, and composer. His career allowed travels to Germany and Vienna, but centered in Bologna, Italy, where he was a violinist and violist in the Accademia Filarmonica and later, worked as a musician at the Basilica San Petronio. Torelli was an especially important figure in the development of the instrumental concerto, with particular emphasis on both the solo concerto and concerto grosso forms.The Sinfonia in D Major (G21) is a piece originally scored for one or two trumpets, first and second solo violins, first and second ripieno violins, solo viola, ripieno viola, violoncello ripieno, violoncello continuo, violone ripieno, and organo.The exact date of the composition is not known, but the work is presumed to have been completed in the latter period. This edition is based on the autograph manuscript located in the musical archives at the Basilica San Petronio in Bologna, Italy.
