Abstract
Renowned German symphonist Karl Amadeus Hartmann composed his Concertino for Trumpet with Seven Solo Instruments (Concertino für Trompete mit sieben Soloinstrumenten) early in his compositional career. After its premiere in 1933, the Concertino was lost. It was rediscovered in 2001. The purpose of this essay is to encourage performance of Hartmann’s trumpet concertino and to give an overview of its structure and history. This essay also includes a pedagogical overview of the work.
