Markus Wuersch: Keyed Trumpet
Sinfonie Orchester Biel Solothurn
Kevin Griffiths: Conductor
Joseph Haydn's Concerto per il Clarino (Trumpet Concerto in E-flat major, Hob.VIIe:1) was written in 1796 for his long-time friend Anton Weidinger. A favorite of the trumpet repertoire, it was composed for the keyed trumpet. This instrument with its new chromatic possibilities was in fashion for only 30 years around the turn to the 19th century and forms the link between the baroque trumpet, that had no keys or other valves, and the more modern trumpet with valves, which has been used exclusively since the 19th century.
Researchers at the Bern University of the Arts have dedicated themselves to this relic of music history: Funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation they not only went into the history of this instrument, but developed - in collaboration with instrument maker Konrad Burri and based on an original instrument in the private collection of Karl Burri, Zimmerwald (nowadays Klingende Sammlung, Bern) - also an “improved” keyed instrument for the curricular use at the Bern University of the Arts.
Markus Würsch, member of the research team, is professor of modern, natural and romantic trumpet at the Bern University of the Arts (HKB) and at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. For some years now, he performs almost exclusively on historical instruments. He frequently appears with the ensembles “La Cetra” and I Barocchisti (RSI, Italian Swiss Radio) and continues to interpret the Haydn and Hummel trumpet concertos on the keyed trumpet.

That's the best tone and intonation I have ever heard anybody get out of a keyed trumpet. Amazing.
And here is the 2nd movement: ua-cam.com/video/R8QF3LrqKrA/v-deo.htmlsi=bcLF42XBZwGMhvg8
I have never heard someone playing a keyed trumpet with such mastery.
and I have never heard a keyed trumpet with such a nice tone
Can you imagine how much time and effort it required to learn to finger and play this keyed trumpet? I am overawed! The performance is technically polished and musically satisfying. My hat is off to Markus Wuersch!
As a professional musician, learning fingering is relatively easy. Interpretation of this type of well-known works is done at universities, so the only thing left is to get used to the instrument. In a keyed trumpet, the sound change works by controlling the "traction" of the sound, while from the technical side - each flap is responsible for the chromatic change of the sound (depending on the base sound on which we are). The only thing that is difficult to play this trumpet is the purity of the sound, this trumpet likes to play dirty.
All about the buzz
Those lip trills are extremely impressive
Wow, just like Weidinger, though right-handed. Incredible and so rare, this is precisely how the concerto was intended.
The lip trills are so effortless. He made this seem easy.
The notes sound consistently fine, with no weak or fuzzy notes.
That is what surprised me most. The consensus has been that the instrument of the day had not a consistent sound yet Mr. Wuersch sounds so beautifully. I am happy to hear his wonderful artistry unencumbered by a supposedly less-than-optimal instrument.
@@MrPrincetrumpet The player does an excellent job, but you must have lost your hearing from the yelling at all the Trump rallies you went to. That instrument is far from consistent and being forced to use lip trills is a nightmare. I'm curious, have you walked out of any other performances lately because you're too much of a baby to take a joke about Christianity?
What an understated compliment for a god-tier performance. Lol.
Let's all thank Haydn for writing the best trumpet concerto ever. How interesting it is to see it played on a keyed trumpet.
Well that was the instrument it was written for not the modern thing!
And you arrive at the concert in horse and carriage.@@MrMarcvus
@@stephenjablonsky1941nice to see that you are a musician with integrity - you know -respecting the wishes of the composer.
This keyed trumpet sounds great, and Markus is excellent. I used to play that concerto on a B flat trumpet and I know how difficult it is !.....
The really convinced me that the best sound for this concerto today is made from the Bb instrument. The Eb trumpet of today sounds like a piccolo next to this performance. Beautifully played and I'm knocked out by this gentleman's playing.
I know it's a lot to ask of a musician, but I honestly feel that nearly everything played on Eb and piccolo trumpets would sound better on a Bb or C, especially baroque repertoire. The only exception I can think of is the solo in Penny Lane, which is one of the few things actually written for piccolo trumpet.
@@seth094978 I don't disagree.
This is not a Bb trumpet.
@@gregmonks I know. It's the sound he produces which, to my ear, has more of the quality of the Bb than the Eb. That's what leads me to prefer performances of this piece on the Bb.
@@gregmonksyes it's actually in Low Eb I think (a fifth below a standard Bb trumpet)
Trumpets with keys and vents (holes) had been around since the Renaissance. Just so you know.
Amazing sound!
Thank you.
any time I have heard a keyed trumpet in the past it sounded like a kazoo. Hats off Markus Wuersch. 10/10 level of difficulty getting that full tone.
Einfach wundervoll! Ton und Beherrschung.
Esecuzione fantastica
Bravo!!!!!!!!!
Amo trompete coiza lindah Ja me escrevi jaa viu😍 nao pare de gravarr
During the orchestral introduction, at 00:18 you hear him play a single note and from 00:29 to 00:34 you hear him play a couple of "calls." Many performers of this skip playing these during the introduction. But I think they are important. Nobody had ever heard a trumpet that could play all the notes when this debuted. I think Haydn was leading the listener step by step to what this new "keyed trumped" could do. The "calls" are the sort of thing people would have been used to hearing natural trumpets do. Shortly into the solo the listener first gets a diatonic sequence which would be new, and shortly after a descending chromatic sequence which was definitely new, and they would have never heard anything like that from a trumpet before. And, voila, the trumpet was now an excellent solo instrument.
Maybe that would be interesting for you: ua-cam.com/video/uqgIBJ-XSPM/v-deo.htmlsi=vRuudzMWuRgxjEry
Wow that is COOL‼️
Wonderful
Fantastisch! Hut ab!
Great performance Markus, the sound/ttimbre of the keyed trumpet is so different to the modern Trumpet we are so used to. Love your lip trills and what a great cadenza with some beautiful high tessitura notes! Kudos to you. Who wrote the cadenza?
Excellent
I love this recording! Do you have the other two movements with orchestra, or just the piano versions you posted?
I just filmed the first movement at the recording session. Sorry!
GREAT, and RESPECT!! Just like it was in the early XIX century... now we hope in a cheap plastic - or something molded "harder" material - MODERN keyed trumpet, with the technology of plastic saxophones.
He's doing his trills with his mouth ... way harder.
Original Keyedtrumpet is played with left Hand. Also Mouthpiece is different. But very well played.
Surviving keyed trumpets are like that. But this is supposed to be a reconstruction of Weidinger's trumpet, which featured many modifications and innovations. Unfortunately, it does not exist anymore, so an instrument maker can take liberties with interpretation.
Reinhold has also a very very good recording of Haydn with a keyed trumpet
Absolut meisterlich.
Awesome playing!!!! I’m Trumpet player too and just for curiosity, help me out please. This keyed trumpet is one octave lower or its the same than actual Eb trumpet?? Thanks and good playing too all.
Nuno Moreira it probably has the same length of tubing as a natural baroque Eb trumpet would but with keys added to it
Looks to be an octave lower, so Eb below a modern Bb trumpet. Natural trumpets, and by extension keyed trumpets are going to be longer so the partials in its playing range are closer together, giving it more melodic potential.
E, not Eb, if I understand the technicalities of the Weidinger trumpet correctly. This instrument is a speculative reconstruction of the Weidinger keyed trumpet.
Bart Wentink Concert in Eb Major.
Natural trumpets are in other “ intonation “ .... and should be almost/at least a half tone lower of nowadays. Tuning in about 438” on old barroco, antique instruments.
Could the Haydn concerto be played on a natural trumpet?
Bravó 👋👋👋👋👋
I like the sound of keyed brass instruments because there is less resistance in the high register. i believe that I like the sound more because it sounds more like the human voice when the air goes through a shorter path as the instrument enters the higher register just like on saxophones or stringed instruments (maybe this is why sax and guitar are some of the most iconic kinds of instruments and popular to listen to)
This is the instrument this concerto was written for not the terrible modern trumpet! I really hate the valved instrument playing this piece - such arrogance!
bien joué avec cet instrument préhistorique mais je trouve que vous vous en sortez bien mieux que david guerrier qui est le meilleur trompettiste de france et du monde mais certainement votre instrument est meilleur en finition
Great skill, no doubt, but it just sounds terrible. Why bother?
Agreed.
You seem to be in a small minority with that opinion. I think it sounds gorgeous.
Regardless of your obvious preference for modern trumpets with pistons, it is still fun and valuable to see and hear the historically accurate version of the concerto (or at least a genuine effort to present the historically accurate version).
This was the instrument that Haydn wrote for, so he wrote the concerto with the strengths and limitations of the keyed trumpet in mind.
I think it’s cool that there are musicians dedicated to transporting the listener back in time. It gives the music more authenticity.
Guitarists often go to great lengths to replicate the ways guitars sounded in the past, and that’s just considered normal.
It’s all art. It’s all subjective. This recording isn’t for you, and that’s fine. I just wanted to answer the question you posed.
@@JoshuaWillis89 Thanks, Joshua. I was being a bit provocative. ButI would say that this concerto was written specifically for the most advanced instrument of the time whose advantages were subsequently improved on, whether with piston or rotary valve instruments. It's interesting to hear this, yes, but there are all sorts of things about it - like lip trills, however superbly played - that just sound crude, that are now unnecessary, and that I would prefer not to hear in a satisfying performance.
