Hummel's Trumpet Concerto

Sara Mohr-Pietsch guides us on a musical journey towards Hummel's Trumpet Concerto. The Austrian composer Johann Nepomuk Hummel developed close connections with the greatest composers of the late classical and early romantic periods, from his teachers Haydn and Mozart to Beethoven and Schubert. In this episode, we'll explore those connections, along with the evolution of trumpet music - from an Italian baroque concerto composed by Giuseppe Torelli, to a jazz masterpiece by Miles Davis.
