These are my 5 favourite Trumpet Concerto (I am a Trumpet player)
This was was neglected for over half a century because of Trumpet technology at the time so it was really hard to play. Improvements in technology has made this one of the most popular Trumpet Concertos.
Joseph Haydn: Trumpet Concerto in E flat (1796)
Hummel took lot’s of Hayd
Not as regularly played for the same reason as Hayden. Trumpet players who could play it were treated as aristocracy. Piccolo Trumpet are generally used for this.
Georg Philipp Telemann: Trumpet Concerto in D major (c.1710)
Hummel took a bunch of Hayden’s ideas and built on them. This concerto is more complex and longer.
Johann Nepomuk Hummel: Trumpet Concerto in E flat (1803)
I think you need to get some modern experience. This one draws from the period and is almost quirky compared to Hayden and Hummel.
Henri Tomasi: Trumpet Concerto (1948)
The last one was written for current British virtuoso, Allison Balsom (she has played versions of all these and are versions to find). The composer is currently 90 and living in Scotland.
Thea Musgrave: Trumpet Concerto (2019)
