| Re: Haydn Concert with Eb or Bb?
In an audition situation where you would probably only play the exposition, I think the Bb would be the best choice. Otherwise, I like Eb trumpet. It gives me more confidence which allows me to be more expressive in the high register.
Having said that, if my Eb sounded like a piccolo trumpet, I would probably stick to Bb. My Eb has a C trumpet bell on it, so you can't even tell its an Eb trumpet.
What a beautiful piece of music!
