The White Hat Guide to the Trumpet
 |
Australian Brandenburg Orchestra - Dazzling Virtuoso
|
 Most people know of the surprising loud chord in Haydn's Surprise Symphony.
White Hat suggests that fewer people realise how surprising the opening three
notes by the soloist of Haydn's trumpet concerto were at the time. The
natural trumpet had
already become an accepted part of larger Baroque orchestras but, just like a
bugle, it could basically play fanfares - melodies only being possible at the
top of its range. By the end of the 18th century a
keyed trumpet had been
created to overcome this limitation. It was for this keyed trumpet and the same
particularly skilled player that both Haydn and Hummel wrote their trumpet
concertos. Hummel introduces the trumpet with a suitable fanfare flourish but
Haydn creates the real surprise by having the trumpet play the first three notes
of the major scale in the middle of its range. To see why this was such a
surprise go to The
White Hat Guide to Haydn's Trumpet Concerto.
The keyed trumpet never found widespread use in the orchestra and was
eventually replaced by the
valve trumpet. However Gabriele Cassone from Italy has become a
skilled performer on the keyed trumpet so when he joins with the
Australian
Brandenburg Orchestra (Artistic Director Paul Dyer) you know you are in for
a truly surprising concert.

 The
Australian Chamber Orchestra with Richard Tognetti (Artistic Director and Lead Violin),
Steven Osborne
(piano) and David
Elton (trumpet).
Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir is one of his sunniest and most exuberant works and
Shostakovich's first piano concerto is full of pyrotechnics for the pianist and
accompanying trumpet. What is sometimes less recognised is that this work calls
for first rate string playing from the orchestra. For that reason, White Hat
suggests you take the opportunity to get along and hear it with one of the best
string ensembles in Australia - or any other country for that matter.
