There are two known manuscript sources for the present edition of this sinfonia avanti l'opera. In the Dean and Chapter Library of Durham Cathedral it appears as the twelfth, and last, piece in a collection of late seventeenth-century Italian instrumental music. No composer is given and identification was only possible following the discovery, in 1993, of a concordant source in the Biblioteca Estense, Modena, where the work appears as the sinfonia to Perti's opera L'Inganno scoperto per Vendetta, first performed in Venice as part of the 1690/1 season.It is sometimes hard to ascertain the original functional purpose behind many of the trumpet works written by composers of the Bolognese school as it would appear that some were used as sonate da chiesa, to celebrate mass in the basilica of San Petronio, Bologna, whilst also serving as operatic sinfonie. To confuse the issue further, there are several instances of composers 'borrowing' each other's works: for example, it has recently been discovered that the Torelli trumpet sinfonia a 4 catalogued as G4 in Giegling was used as the overture to Perti's opera Nerone fatto Cesare (1693). So far as the present edition is concerned, however, stylistic considerations would appear to confirm that the work is indeed by Perti and that it was originally conceived as the overture to L'Inganno scoperto per Vendetta. A couple of clues hint at a secular raison d'etre: the Durham source is marked Serenatto (presumably a corruption of serenata, a term often used in lieu of sinfonia) and the last movement of the Modena source is marked Menuet, a term more often associated with sonate da camera than with works of ecclesiastical provenance.Both the Modena and Durham sources for the present edition are virtually note-perfect and occasional inaccuracies were easily corrected by comparing the sources with each other and with the part-books in Durham. Whilst the Modena source lacks the second violin part in the outer movements it contains fuller dynamic markings and tempi indications than the Durham source and these have been followed in the present edition with no editorial additions. Notation has been modernised and, in the piano reduction edition, right-hand arpeggio-figurations rendered more pianistic. Parts are provided for trumpet in D and B flat. I am grateful to the Dean and Chapter of Durham and to the Biblioteca Estense, Modena, for providing microfilm of the manuscripts. I should also record my thanks to Keith Wright for realising the figured-bass which appears in the full-score edition.Mark Latham, Brancepeth Castle, June 1997.

It is therefore not surprising that the concerto (due to the very high range of the concertante horn section) initially established itself as a trumpet concerto. Recent attempts with modern, high horns, however, allow a more approximate reproduction of the original. The present edition by the well-known trumpet player Ludwig Guttler takes both options into account. This concerto can be performed on both the E-flat as well as the B-flat trumpet. We recommend, however, performing it on the corno da caccia in high B-flat.Neruda's most famous work was probably composed for the Dresden horn player Anton Joseph Hampel, who mastered the highly specialized art of clarino playing on the corno da caccia.

The music of the Austrian Imperial-Royal court composer Fux takes us back to a time in which Vienna's musical life overwhelmingly followed Italian models.

The music of the Austrian Imperial-Royal court composer Fux takes us back to a time in which Vienna's musical life overwhelmingly followed Italian models. The Overture to Pulcheria also clearly reflects this influence. The trumpet is only used in the rapid sections which bracket the two Adagio sections for strings. The final movement is a fugue which concludes with a short, coda-like Adagio. This first edition is based on the manuscript from the Austrian National Library in Vienna.The music of the Austrian Imperial-Royal court composer Fux takes us back to a time in which Vienna's musical life overwhelmingly followed Italian models.

Arranger Joseph Ardovino says, Despite the fact that Tomaso Albinoni appears to have enjoyed a large following among his contemporaries, few details of his life are known. This work begins with an Allegro, typical of the model established in Albinoni's late period. It maintains the typical three movement form, fast-slow-fast. Accompanying the trumpet in the original version is a small wind ensemble with continuo consisting of three oboes, bassoon and continuo... This offers a modern performance edition of an important piece from one of the great composers of the Baroque period..
