Trumpet Concerto in E or E flat major, WoO 1, S. 49, written in 1803.
00:00 - I. Allegro con spirito
09:38 - II. Andante
14:23 - III. Rondo (Allegro)
In 1803 the famed Viennese trumpeter Anton Weidinger requested from Johann Nepomuk Hummel a new concerto for his keyed trumpet, a recently developed instrument that allowed the player to produce far more chromatic notes than had previously been possible. The imposing figure of Haydn must have been prominent in Hummel's mind as he undertook the commission. He had just succeeded Haydn as Kapellmeister at the Esterházy court -- a position Haydn had held for some 30 years -- and counted himself among the elder composer's good friends. Moreover, it was Haydn who seven years earlier had written the first concerto for Weidinger's keyed instrument. In the end, Hummel's work proved equally as successful as Haydn's, and Weidinger subsequently played it throughout Europe.
- The concerto opens with a celebratory Allegro con spirito that is notable for a few unusual modulations, likely included to show off the instrument's expanded capabilities. Not only is the soloist given a thorough workout, but the orchestral support is similarly spirited; the writing for the woodwinds is particularly effective.
- A plaintive Andante follows, and the work concludes with...
- a sprightly Allegro that includes much brilliant writing for the soloist.
One final note: the concerto exists in two different forms. The work was originally written in E flat major, though either Hummel or Weidinger (or possibly both) made a less frequently played version in E major. - Hudba
Underrated composerr. His Piano concertos are incredible.
I love this so much. Hummel is way too underrated !
Hummel doesn't deserve to be as neglected as he has been - it's good to see new recordings of his work being produced lately.
I agree, I'm trying to bring both the fantasie for viola and the trumpet concerto onto a future programme
I thank the Lord that I have neither perfect pitch nor musical knowledge. In my ignorance, it is bliss to listen to this rendition of the Trumpet Concerto.
To było Boże Narodzenie 2023. Prawie cały dzień w smutku spowodowanym między innymi depresją. Całą noc nie mogłem spać. I gdy już zaczęło świtać puściłem to wspaniałe dzieło...
17:07, that's a challenge!
Omg
I said good god out loud when I heard that
So nice! Public radio classical music stations need to feature this more! Love this; reminds me of what I heard when I was a kid hearing this on San Francisco classical radio.♥️
Bello Concerto-ottima orchestra- ottimo solista !
To all of you saying it’s the wrong key, yes it’s not the same as the music shown, but the uploader explains it in the description
But he shouldn't play the audio of the E version but show the score for the Eb version
im only 5 months in the womb and i played this perfectly
Dominic LaSalle loser! I was conceived this morning and is already play that kind of stuff
Hahaha silly mortals, I can play this and my mother hasn't even been born
Bud Budderson well I can play this and my grandmother isn’t even born yet
Silly Mortals! I can play this before the composer was born!
Okay Asian musicians, be quiet
Hardenberger's tone is flawless, his dynamics are incredible, and he plays this so musically. Thank you for posting this with such nice audio and the score.
@patrin maddison That's true, he does play the dynamics differently than they were written in a few spots. I think that his interpretation of them is equally interesting to listen to though.
Bravo super concerto music brilliance
Wonderful to listen along with the score, which only deepens one's amazement at the virtuosity on display. Thank you for uploading!
Absolutely superb, great virtuosity and phrasing!!❤
A favorite, along with Hertel.
It is honestly a crime this music hasn't had recognition. Hummel really was a genius, I'd easily put him on par with Mozart, although the two say slightly different things through their music. Every time I listen to Hummel it is truly a magical, no, mystical experience. Utterly enchanting music, like being put under a spell. I honestly would be surprised if Hummel was a wizard.
He taught Mozart for a bit.
Couple of problems I see.. firstly he didn't write a symphony. Which always seems to boost the popularity of a composer, especially from his era. Secondly he had the musical mountain of Beethoven to contend with. Although the two were friends, Hummels musical development was much less dramatic. And he was deemed out of fashion by the 1830s. You had the likes of Berlioz and Liszt coming on the scene.
@@dillonheck801 the other way around surely?
@@dillonheck801 mozart taught him idiot
Trust me: If you're a trumpet player, you know this piece inside and out.
something about this played in E major makes It sound so fun
Absoluta magnifica piesa asta ...multumesc mult atat orchestrei , dirijorului cat si interpretului , mi-ati facut ziua frumoasa !
là on atteint des sommets magnifique ensemble, soliste et orchestre et avec un chef extra
+Robert pc libre Je suis d'accord, merci pour vos mots!
I bet this arrangement would sound great 👍 on the Pipe Organ. Definitely worth Arranging for the Pipe Organ.
Nice piece. Glad they put up the score in order to follow the music.
Deutschland und Österreich die besten in der Musik
Beautiful
This is the recording which introduced me to the piece and I still love it. There are a lot of discrepancies between the printed score and what he plays and I'm not talking about classical decorations. These are structural differences. Nevertheless it's great performance.
Maravilhoso concerto hummel2018
I'm quite surprised that nobody picked up that the first theme is the first theme of Mozarts Haffner symphony, albeit mildly varied.
Man i was just about to say that!!!😂
Assolutamente si, e nel secondo tempo è evidente il richiamo ai pizzicati e ad alcuni passi del 2 tempo del concerto k467 n21 per pianoforte.
I realized that immediately.
The original is in E major,. The E-flat version is a XX century modification for players to be able to play it on the Eb trumpet, which is widely used by trumpet players.
Amazing
FANTÁSTIC
Håkan Hardenberger was my one of my favourites until I heard Wynton Marsalis
Me enamoré ...!!
2:07 for audition
I love this
very nice!
Must be a blast for a trumpeter to play. So long as they know what they are doing. Lol. Love the bluesy intro of second movemt. Richer than the Haydn...
That is a "funny" sounding "piano".
That's exactly what I came to say!
5:39 pianissimo, I say
Bruh what you talking about that’s exactly what a piano sounds like 😎
Organs can get close to mimicking orchestras, but as you say, odd for a piano
It's a funny-sounding "B-flat trumpet" too
Why is my high school making freshmen play this to get into wind ensemble ;-; this is pure pain to a 13/14 year old
This recording is a half pitch higher.
I thought u were deaf
olla-vogala
Yes,but I'm still alive!!
Original is in mi major.
Peter Smirnoff yep
Probably because those dang Europeans think that 443 hz (for a Concert A) is STILL not high enough!
I thought wow this is a pretty easy concerto but at 9:00 no way am I ready for that.
Yeah, or 17:08...
Note: this Concerto is originally in E major, hence the recording being higher pitched
I also noticed that when I started playing over
might be a trumpet in C
Finals/Audition timestamps:
I. 2:08
II. 10:29
III. 14:50
thank you kind sir
This video is agony for people with perfect pitch
Not the intonation, it's just all up a semitone!
Hmm.. the recording is this piece’s orignal pitch(E Major)
people with perfect pitch should know the original piece is written in E Major. ;)
Well yours is both a blessing and a curse. Someone like me who may remember if a piece is in the proper Key or not, it wouldn't hurt my ears if it was transposed. Notes are just indicators, not absolute.
Can confirm lol

The Original version is in E natural, wich is in the track, but the part in the video is in Eb
Amazing Handerberger!
Good ears. piece was originally written in E maj.
4:28 There are two versions. I've seen f# several times but a lot of people play a.
Not saying it really matters but what's the original version?
The a
The beginning sounds exactly like Mozart's Haffner symphony no. 35.
Sounds Mozart in the first lol I love it
Sounds like Mozart's Halfner, symphony no 35, in the beginning!
I immediately noticed that on the first hearing myself - all but a direct quote of the Haffner. I would certainly expect this of Mozart's favorite pupil who no doubt held his master in equal or higher esteem.
The second movement is basically 'Jenamy' Piano Concerto Andante for a trumpet.
Mov 2 remember me Mozart Piano Concerto 21
Je t'aime Agathe
What about Andante?... I see in it some similarity with II movement of well-known Piano concerto K.467 by W.A.M.
Yes, it is obvoius that it is the model for the Andante.
Hummel was a child prodigy. At the age of eight, he was offered music lessons by the classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was impressed with his ability. Hummel was taught and housed by Mozart for two years free of charge and made his first concert appearance at the age of nine at one of Mozart's concerts.
This andante is soft and seems to be very easy to play, BUT, it needs very strong lips and powerfull blow. It is the hardest part of the concerto.Believe me.
i like hummel Tp concerto
it should sound good if you could interpolate a tenuto F# (sounding E) the lowest note on the Bb trumpet at 7:31 measure 245 (playing in the original E major key of course). I think I heard David Guerrier doing that and it really adds drama to the minor chord in the strings
btw I think all trills sound better if started from above
Trills from above are not historically accurate for the time period. That was over by the end of Handels life for the most part.
Hardenberger played this on a C trumpet in the key of E. You would need a fourth valve to reach a low E. There is a nice recording on a keyed trumpet by Markus Würsch of the first movement here on YT, where you can hear the period instrument for which this concert was originally composed for. There the low E reaches its full potential, because this keyed trumpet is twice as long compared to a modern valved trumpet of the same key, hereby enabling a full vibrant sound in the lower register.
👌👌
Kinda ĺ
2:08
Second Section - 5:26
What’s up with line 242 on part 1 (7:32)doesn’t look like right note
Could the first movement be use for college auditions? Or would most be looking for more
I guess you could! The first movement alone is a marathon of musical ideas
Listen to Mozart Haffner Symphony first movement and compare it to the introduction by the orchestra from this concert. Notice anything?
That's exactly what I also thought immediately after not even having heard the first 30 seconds.
Hummel was a child prodigy. At the age of eight, he was offered music lessons by the classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was impressed with his ability. Hummel was taught and housed by Mozart for two years free of charge and made his first concert appearance at the age of nine at one of Mozart's concerts.
el principio parece la sinfonia 35 de Mozart....
Where can I buy that B trumpet? LOL spectacular performance though :)
I tried to play the solo part on my Bb clarinet. The sound on the recording is 1/2 step higher than what is written. Good concerto, though.
Anyone here because they were initially listening to the Squid Game music (Hayden Trumpet Concerto in E-Flat major)?
I still can’t believe this isn’t Mozart 🤷🏻♀️
Hummel was - I believe - the only student that Mozart ever took in. Mozart housed Hummel for 2 years when Hummel was a child - I think somewhere around age 10 - and evidently taught him well. Hummel’s two grand masses in D are also master works.
This is in E...the music shown is the wrong key.
+PhillyOTPT2 I know, but I only had a score in Eb.
+PhillyOTPT2 It's pretty common to play it in Eb, makes it easier on the trumpet.
On the Bb trumpet maybe. The original concerto is still in E and not Eb which is why people like Hardenberger play it on an E trumpet in E.
Wow, almost everyone plays Hummel in Eb and then I saw a recording titled "Hummel trumpet concerto in E". I had no idea....
@@olla-vogala4090 You could have just lowered the audio a half step in After Effects
why is thos video not available?
There are Ten Bs: JS Bach of Germany, Bartok of Hungary, Beethoven of Germany, Berlioz of France, Biber of Bohemia, Boccherini of Italy, Brahms of Germany, Britten of Great Britain, Bruckner of Austria, and Byrd of England--, and Three Hs: Handel of Germany, FJ Haydn of Austria, and Hildegard of Bingen. Would you rate Hummel of Slovakia as the Fourth H?
First i would not put Bartok, and Bruckner in the ten Bs, their music has not enought quality to match the other ones, and then hell yhea, put Hummel as the fourth Hs.

14:24 👌
Is the music being played in this video in E Major or Eb Major? Thanks to some wise king I am horribly confused
E major. Hardenberger plays it in the original key on a C trumpet. The Eb major version is usually used when the soloist uses the more common Bb trumpet because otherwise you have to cope with very awkward fingerings. The instrument that the concert was originally composed for was actually a totally different instrument, a keyed trumpet without valves which had twice the tube length a modern valve trumpet in the key of E has. In recent years several players have recorded this concert using a keyed trumpet after reconstructions were available after almost 200 years.
2:07 - 4:00
At the beginning (bars 7 to 13) there's a little echo from Mozart Haffner... but it's ok, Classical era.
Genuine question, why is it that that the transcription is a half step down from what my man hakan is playing, is he playing on a trumpet that is in a different key, I’m kinda confused
14:23
It must have been in E originally, noone would compose a movement with seven flats more than 200 years ago. Haydn composed with six sharps in his Farewell symphony, but it is a rare exception.
Not true they were not written at all. They were very rare and they were notated in parallel majors (so a movement in Ab minor would be notated in Ab major key signature). Hummel himself wrote a piano quintet in Eb minor (op. 87) and notated it in Eb major. In the key of Eb minor itself there are more examples: Haydn's Piano Trio no. 41 is in Eb minor.
@@Pawel_Malecki True, but this one is originally in E. Check IMSLP.
His music sounds more like classical era, more specifically Mozart era.
Second movement directly from 21th Mozart's piano concerto
Hummel stole the 2nd mvt. from Mozart’s 21st piano concerto for his 2nd mvt.
But can we blame him? That movement is too good not to steal.
I noticed that right away
What's the name of the soloist ?....he sounds great.
Is there a version of this in B flat?

b192 omg
At 4:27 - In measure 143, beat 4, he plays an A instead of the written F#.
The original does have the F#.
It's an artistic liberty, that works with the chord very well.
The original actually has the a. The f# version isn't original.
lol the trumpet part is a semi-tone higher than the recording
15:15
why is it bit higher...
It is in the wrong key
6:56
9:46
6:30
Just pull out your slide till your Bb trumpet is keyed in A... then just transpose up a step. Easy peasy :}
a moll !
3rd movement is hard for me.
used this to punish my self
Yes
Because I said I could not do push-ups
And they agreed
So I said I have my own punishment
And this was it
Yep 👍
Soooooo why is there no cadenza in the first movement? He skipped right over it.
Victoria Casteel there’s no space in most versions for a cadenza. Most players just put one at the end.
