Is the trumpet repertoire weak?

Hmmmmmmmmmm. I may get seriously flamed with this one. Since I have at least two well known and respected professionals listening to me, don't you envy, even a little, the violin and piano players that have such a vast repertiore available to them? Trumpets with valves, or even keys, is a newer instrument than either piano (keyboard) or violin. No doubt that has a lot to do with the extent of the repertiore, but don't you wish there were more big concertos and other works? There's more music than I'll ever learn, but I want more. Where are the Brahms 2nd piano concerto, Beethoven violin concerto, 27 (or is it 28) Mozart piano concertos, and 32 Beethoven piano sonatas for trumpet?

I'll duck now.
