After changing his voice, he had to survive by working multiple jobs, while studying composition analyzing the works of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach .

Each work is identified with a Roman numeral that corresponds to the category, which in most cases corresponds to a genre. Some categories have subdivisions, which are indicated with a lowercase letter and then an Arabic number appears that corresponds to the order of the specific work within the category. These figures are preceded by the word Hoboken (in memory of the catalog's author) and sometimes by Hob .

The Concerto for trumpet and orchestra in E flat major, Hob. VIIe/1, is Haydn 's only concerto for this instrument.

He premiered it on March 22, 1800 in Vienna . It is the first concerto for five-key trumpet, an instrument created to overcome the limitations of traditional bronze instruments; instrument that would be surpassed by the current three-piston trumpet created in 1813.
