Trumpet Concerto (Haydn) 2nd movement by Andreas Ottl during Ehsaas-e-Kashmir Concert at Shalimar Bagh, Kashmir.
Joseph Haydn's Concerto per il Clarino, (Hob.: VIIe/1) (Trumpet Concerto in E flat major) was written in 1796 for his long-time friend Anton Weidinger. Joseph Haydn was 64 years of age.
Anton Weidinger developed a keyed trumpet which could play chromatically throughout its entire range. Before this, the trumpet was valveless and could only play a limited range of harmonic notes by altering the vibration of the lips; also called by the name of natural trumpet. Most of these harmonic notes were clustered in the higher registers, so previous trumpet concertos could only play melodically with the high register (e.g., Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 2). Haydn's concerto includes melodies in the middle and lower register, exploiting the capabilities of the new instrument.
There were attempts all over Europe around the mid-classical era to expand the range of the trumpet using valves, but Weidinger's idea of drilling holes and covering them with flute-like keys was not a success as it had very poor sound quality. Thus the natural trumpet still had continual use in the classical orchestra while the keyed trumpet had barely any repertoire. The valved trumpets used today were first constructed and used in the 1830s.
The work is composed in three movements (typical of a Classical period concerto), they are marked as followed:
I. Allegro (sonata)
II. Andante (sonata)
III. Allegro (rondo)
In addition to the solo trumpet, the concerto is scored for an orchestra consisting of strings, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 (presumably natural) trumpets (which generally play in support of the horns or timpani rather than the solo trumpet), and timpani.
Andreas Öttl, born in 1974 in St. Anton am Arlberg, received his first trumpet lessons from his father and began his musical career in the local brass band. His musical studies with Lothar Hilbrand in Feldkirch and then with Johann Gansch, former principal trumpeter of the Vienna Philharmonic at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg he graduated in 2002 with highest honors.
After a first engagement at the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, he was hired on to the Bavarian State Orchestra as principal trumpeter in 2002 and has since been a member of OperaBrass, the brass players of the Bavarian State Opera.
Andreas Öttl was a guest at various festivals such as the Salzburg Festival or the Rheingau Music Festival. In September 2013 he performed at the request of Maestro Zubin Mehta with the Bavarian State Orchestra at the „Concert for Kashmir“ in Srinagar (TV-Liveconcert) and in Mumbai the Trumpet Concerto in E flat major by Joseph Haydn.
Since 2005 he held a teaching position for the subject orchestral-training at the Mozarteum University of Salzburg and is an assistant to Johann Gansch. Andreas Öttl continues to play, as far as time permits, at the local brass band of St. Anton am Arlberg and the p
