Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. It is a fascinating topic and I really appreciate your input. I guess each piece has to be looked at individually. Brahms is always interesting to me. He know so much about the trumpet, even composed etudes for it, but his parts are so bare (and so difficult, for me anyway). Vacchiano said he found the Haydn Variations very difficult.
Some conductors have asked me to add notes because of the capability of modern instruments. The last movement of the Mendelsohn Reformation Symphony comes to mind.
I will try to get to Carnegie to hear the Beethoven. The last time I heard you play there it was Shostakovich Symphony #5 and you sounded great.
