Nick,
the composers of the baroque era were no different than their modern day counterparts. They write for the forces at large. I suspect that Haydn had a high note ace without the technical finesse of a Gottfried Reiche although the head trumpeter at the Salzburg court, J.B. Resenberger had some pretty healthy laurels from L. Mozart: "is an excellent trumpeter who has made himself very famous, especially in the high register, through the extraordinary purity of his sound, through the quickness in runs and his good trills".

I guess any comparison to Bach will pale however - he IS simply the greatest composer that ever lived.

Niklas Elund plays this on his "The Art of the Baroque Trumpet Volume 4" NAXOS 8.554375S and BLOWS AWAY ALL of the picc performances (in my sometimes not so humble opinion!).
