Brand New Never Played The Orchestral Trumpeter by Sigmund Hering Author’s Note: Before the trumpet emerged as a valve or chromatic (“semi-tone”) instrument, circa 1850-60, it was no simple matter for a symphony trumpeter to cope with a concert program in diversified keys. Trumpets were pitched in specific, self-limiting keys: F, E-flat, D, et cetera. Thus, for a program of compositions in four or five keys, the trumpeter was obliged to have an array of differently pitched instruments and crooks laid out before him in order to perform each score’s indicated tonality. The valve trumpet did away with this cumbersome apparatus, for it was al “all-key” instrument, and could skip as nimbly as a violin through the most complicated modulations. However, since the older published music exists unchanged, there still remains the problem of adjusting the key of one’s own instrument to the key of the instrument called for by a particular composition. In due course, this obstacle also was hurdled. Trumpeters learned to transpose while they played. That is, they read at a properly raised or lowered interval and presto, all was well. After forty years as a member of the Philadelphia Orchestra Trumpet Section and teacher of trumpet, I am still rather surprised at the limited amount of materials available to the aspiring symphony trumpeter on so important a subject as transportation. Learning to transpose on the job is too late. Indeed, it may mean the abrupt termination of a coveted job! The serious young trumpet student can, and should, acquire ease in transposing at about the same time he begins to read fluently in all keys. This is the course I have pursued with my own pupils, many of whom occupy solo chair positions in major symphony orchestras. It was with the hope of aiding other students that I prepared this much needed method of transposition studies. Almost all trumpeters now play in the B-flat trumpet. I therefore, based this method on transposing from the trumpet in B-flat.
