from the Concerto 2nd Movement
Three versions included: for Bb, C, or Eb trumpet

The inspiration is obvious, of course: Haydn’s trumpet concerto is one of the most famous – if not THE most famous – of all trumpet concertos. As concertos go, it is also one of Haydn’s best. I was worried about doing variations on the theme of his 2nd movement, as it almost seems blasphemous. On the other hand,why not have a little fun? It’s not like I’m putting anyone’s life at stake!
The variations are pretty much in classic cornet-solo form: different meters, styles, a “fantasia”-section in a minor key, and technical wizardry. For the most part, the harmonies are somewhat traditional as well, with some modern tonal twists thrown in for good measure. I originally did these variations for my 2nd volume of “Day-tudes” (from April, 2010) – and I knew all along that someday I would be adding a piano accompaniment. I am very happy with the result, and could easily see this being a rewarding addition to the trumpet repertoire.
Some may choose to do only certain variations as per their level on the instrument. In any case, I hope these prove to be fun for performer and listener! Three key options are included, so that the soloist may play on Bb, C, or Eb trumpet.
