Summary of This Score
This score highlights a fascinating paradox of the repertoire: one of the concertos today most appreciated by trumpeters is, in fact, a horn concerto composed by Neruda around 1750, at the court of Dresden, in contact with the greatest virtuosos of the time. This proximity to instrumental excellence is immediately felt in the writing: the solo part unfolds ambitiously, favoring the upper registers and a virtuosity typical of the clarino style, where technical ease and intonation precision become decisive.
The new G. Henle edition follows an Urtext approach: it omits the additions found in older editions (phrasing, dynamics, overloaded performance indications) to allow a more direct and transparent approach to the original musical text. Taking into account current performance practices, this publication also offers parts dedicated to trumpet (E-flat and B-flat), making the work more accessible in concert and audition, while preserving the spirit and brilliance of the solo writing. An ideal choice to enrich a concerto score library, study classical style, and prepare a demanding program, whether you are a horn player or trumpeter.
