Summary of This Score
Little documented, Johann Baptist Georg Neruda was born in Bohemia and spent the last thirty years of his life in Dresden, where he worked as a violinist and composer. Rediscovered and published in 1974 by trumpeter David R. Hickman, the "Trumpet Concerto in E flat major" quickly established itself as one of the most popular solo concertos for trumpet.
The manuscript mentions "Corno Primo," an indication referring to the corno da caccia, an instrument highly regarded and frequently used by composers such as Bach and Händel. This lineage sheds light on the style and color of the work: a brilliant, lyrical, and agile writing, ideal for developing musicality, articulation, and mastery of the register in the soloist.
Performed on a modern instrument, the solo part finds a particularly natural sonic translation on the trumpet, making it a choice piece to enrich a program of early music and early Classical period repertoire. A perfect score for technical work, expressiveness, and stage presence, both in auditions and concerts.
