Initially composed in 1907 for Bass Voice and Piano Habanera by Maurice Ravel was transcribed for Trumpet and Piano for this edition. Based on a Cuban Contradanza it features a special Habanera rhythm and is generally performed with sung lyrics. In this edition the Trumpet is a substitute for the Voice. While composing this piece Maurice Ravel was also working on two works with Spanish influence: The Spanish Rhapsody and The Spanish Hour. Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) was a French composer who is most famous for his Impressionist compositions. He wrote numerous pieces including Daphnisand Chloé and the famous Bolero.

Written in 1803 by Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837) this Trumpet Concerto in E-flat Major is a classical piece of the Trumpet repertoire. Composed in the spirit of Mozart and initially for the keyed-Trumpet it was re-discovered in 1958 by a Yale student after 150 years of inertia due to the obsolescence of the instrument for which it was made. This edition offers a transposition in E-flat Major (initially in E Major) adapted to the instruments in use today. The other instruments to be involved in this concerto are a Flute two Oboes two Clarinets two Bassoons two Horns Timpani and Strings. Hummel?s Trumpet Concerto begins with an orchestra onlyfirst movement in a sonata theme which is repeated with the inclusion of the soloist. This Allegro Spirito sounds reminiscent of the Haffner Symphony (No. 35 in D Major) by Mozart but distinguished itself by a second theme. The second movement Andante is more melodic with the trumpet which holds long notes. Finally the Rondo offers a blissful and bright end to the Concerto. Former student of Mozart Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837) was a brilliant composer pianist conductor and teacher. Evolving at the same period as Beethoveen he became as famous as him and wrote numerous concertos (for Piano Oboe Trumpet Violin and others) operas and some wind music pieces.
