Trumpet Concerto in E-flat major, Hob.VIIe:1 - Joseph Haydn

Trumpet Concerto in E-flat major, Hob.VIIe:1 by Joseph Haydn

Joseph Haydn completed this trumpet concerto in 1796 for the trumpet virtuoso Anton Weidinger, a friend of Haydn. Due to recent technological developments in the chromatic ability of the trumpet, Haydn wanted to compose a piece that would allow the new abilities of the instrument to be displayed.

The work is comprised of three movements: I. Allegro 00:00 II. Andante 07:04 III. Allegro 11:03

The most well recognised section of this work is the final allegro movement, beginning at 11:03.
