History of the trumpet in classical music
After Bach and Handel, trumpet playing declined. Haydn, the great successor of these two gentlemen, not did well with trumpets. When Haydn entered the service of Prince Esterhazy, Prince music lover in Austria, his orchestra at first did not include trumpets at all.
As late as 1766, the permanent staff of this orchestra, one of the most outstanding in Europe, consisting of six violins and violas, a cello, a bass, one flute, two oboes, bassoons and two horns, but not four trumpets or horns. Several years later the resources of the orchestra was expanded so that the trumpets and drums could be added when necessary.
Even when Haydn made use of trumpets marked for them, played eighth or sixth above the horns. For this arrangement added thin drums for accompaniment. Probably felt the need to fill with something, and the battery seemed the most appropriate.
Mozart, who was at first a pupil of Haydn, but whose genius lifted him to a place above his master, seemed to share an aversion to Haydn for trumpets. This antipathy trumpets are due to the extremely sensitive nature. Until Mozart was ten, the sound of the trumpet was very painful for him, and he could not bear it.
As an adult he found little pleasure in trumpets, and used sparingly. In 1788 he wrote his three great symphonies, but only two of them made use of the trumpet. I could not bear the high clarion parts written by Bach and Handel even reorganized some of this music, giving the upper parts of clarion clarinets.
Beethoven wrote in general, for two trumpets and often used as solo instruments. This can not be interpreted as meaning that Beethoven was particularly fond of the trumpet, because it was a custom known for their score as much as possible for all players in the orchestra and pass around the solo parts in order to keep all stakeholders.
In general, followed the custom of Mozart and Haydn in the handling of the trumpets, writing parts for them were eighth, sixth, or sometimes a third above the horns, all accompanied by the pounding of the eardrum.
Although it was probably equal well that the trend was Away From the trumpet of written discharge of Bach and Handel, composers that followed did not invent writing for the trumpet was so interesting. Bach and Handel and his predecessors did the trumpet one of the most interesting of the orchestra.
They certainly worked hard and extremely exhausted the possibilities in this direction, but must be given credit for the ingenuity and inventiveness. When composers after Bach and Handel abandoned this style of writing, could not produce anything to take your place.
They used both as a clarion trumpets are now used drums. The parties were fine trumpet whose poverty line design was covered in the noise of the drums. Apparently not think well of the long trumpets in which you can play chromatically in the upper registers.
This type of game was a murderer man of trumpets, but I had opportunities that some believe has not been exploited fully. These old teachers also knew about the addition of offenders to the simple trumpet, so to obtain, jumping from a trumpet to others, something approximating chromatic playing. Wagner's success with this type of instrument shows very well that Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven overlooked the possibilities of the trumpet of his time.
Instead of taking advantage of the long trumpet their upper registers diatonic and chromatic and instead of using the trumpet with criminals like Wagner, were content with writing thin tonic and dominant chords for these instruments.
Likely is to expect too much, even geniuses like Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, to look beyond the trumpet of writing chords light based on the tonic and dominant. After all, even though Wagner has done great things in the simple trumpet without valves, he had set before him the example of the results of piston trumpet.
He simply chose the trumpet because he preferred the tone of the valve trumpet, but the example of the trumpet valve trumpet should be suggested higher writing for the simple trumpet. To appreciate what Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven were facing, we need only consider what kind of music is written for newspapers Today's military bugler.
bugle calls are limited to five or six notes. Other notes are possible, but these five or six are the best in quality and easier to hit.
The obstacles in making music with these notes are evident. They have wide gaps between them, and their range limits of a foot monotonous music. At the top of the range of marks are closer and have more musical possibilities, but these notes are hard to play and may be extended by a single individual powerful.
Even with the precision instruments built today, many players can not hit the ninth and tenth partials, for oil bugles hundred years or more ago is doubtful that many players could go beyond the sixth inning. No wonder that early composers were not seriously consider in the musical possibilities of these instruments.
