About This Piece
What happens when an invention gives a composer new possibilities? For Haydn, it inspired a concerto that let the trumpet sing in ways audiences had never heard.
The Charleston Symphony’s own Principal Trumpet Tony Marti is the featured soloist in Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto in E-flat major. Written for Anton Weidinger’s groundbreaking keyed trumpet, the concerto takes the instrument beyond its familiar fanfares into flowing melodies, nimble runs, and moments of unexpected tenderness.
Listen as Marti brings out the trumpet’s lyrical voice in the slow movement, then its agility and wit in a spirited finale—a chance to hear one of the CSO’s own step forward and shine.
