Compare BrahmsвЂ™ trumpet writing in his 4th Symphony (1885) against the writing in BrucknerвЂ™s 7th (1884), against CГ©sar FranckвЂ™s Symphony in D Minor, TchaikovskyвЂ™s 5th, MahlerвЂ™s 1st, StraussвЂ™ Don Juan (all completed in 1888). In BrahmsвЂ™ case (who died ten years before Joseph Joachim) he continued to write for the trumpet in this manner into the 1890s. Although perhaps itвЂ™s unfair to consider all of these composers together in the strictest terms, itвЂ™s true they used the valve trumpet as if it were 7 natural trumpets collected together (in other words, use the valves to transpose the instrument, but continue to only use the notes of the harmonic series).

The so-called Leipzig вЂњconservativesвЂќ: Schumann, MendelssohnВ (although he died in 1847, he could be considered the spiritual leader of this group), Niels Gade (under appreciated), Joachim, Brahms.

Even though DauvernГ© is responsible for playing some of the earliest valve trumpet parts at the Paris OpГ©ra, you can almost hear him saying, вЂњyes, the valve trumpet is an important creation and should be studied, but the main principles of trumpet playing are learned on the natural trumpet.вЂќ Only the latter third is exercises for the slide and (low-pitched) valve trumpet. Roughly 2/3 of the book is exercises for the natural, valveless trumpet.

1857: FranГ§ois DauvernГ© publishes his MГ©thode in Paris.

The fact that two of the more famous German trumpeters are famous for their valve trumpet and natural trumpet playing, is testament to the staying power of the valveless trumpet. Berlioz mentioned both brothers in his Memoirs, during his travels in Germany. Sachse was the brother of Ernst Sachse, composer of the 100 Etudes still used by trumpeters to practice transposition.

1850: Friedrich Sachse (Hanover) performs his own concerto for вЂњsimple trumpetвЂќ at the Leipzig Gewandhaus.

So what about the composers who were somewhat older but who survived the Revolution? What happened to them and how did the upheaval of the Bolshevik rise to power affect them? LetвЂ™s explore those composers.

As mentioned in an earlier post Shostakovich, Prokofiev, and Mayaskovsky belong to the (my words) fourth generation of Russian composers. With the exception of perhaps Myaskovsky (who had composed several important works before the Revolution) and Stravinsky (who of course left before the Revolution for France) these composers were too young to really experience pre-Revolutionary Russia for themselves most of their important works would be written after the Bolshevik Revolution.

Practical StudiesE.F.Since the fall of the Soviet Union there have been published several excellent works focusing on the plight of Soviet-era composers and the pressures they face, most of which focus on well-known artists such as Shostakovich, Prokofiev, and to a lesser extent Khachaturian, Stravinsky, and Myaskovsky.
