Description
The trumpet dates back to at least 1500 BC. It is played by blowing air through closed lips, producing a "buzzing" sound that starts a standing wave vibration in the air column inside the instrument. Since the late 15th century they have primarily been constructed of brass tubing, usually bent twice into a rounded oblong shape.
Joseph Haydn's Trumpet Concerto was one of the first for a chromatic trumpet and Johann Hummel wrote the other great Trumpet Concerto of the Classical period, and these two pieces are the cornerstone of the instrument's repertoire. Written as they were in the infancy of the chromatic trumpet, they reflect only a minor advancement of the trumpet's musical language.
Much later in the twentieth century American jazz artists such as Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Clifford Brown, Harry James and many more had an enormous impact on virtually every subsequent trumpeter.
