Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778 - 1837), who early in his career became well-known in Vienna as a brilliant pianist, studied with Mozart, Albrechtsberger, Salieri and Haydn and soon earned a high reputation as a composer. His further career led him to Eisenstadt as conductor of the Esterházy orchestra (1804 - 11), to Vienna for a five-year sojourn as a music teacher, to Stuttgart in 1816 as a court conductor, and fonally from 1819 to Weimar, where he was court conductor to the Grand Duke. The present Trumpet Concerto dates from a quite early period in Hummel's ouvre. It was written in 1803 and performed the following year to mark his entrance in the Esterházy court orchestra. In its three-movement design, its formal layout and its melodic and harmonic workmanschip, the work still lies fully within the bounds of the classical tradition.
