Re: Brahm's Requiem

I agree with Vulgano Brother. The Bb is very (most in my opinion) suitable. If you have a rotary Bb, try and organize one for the second player. In spite of the notation, this was probably originally performed on a deep F trumpet (back then the Bb rotary was known as the "high Bb" trumpet and frowned upon by many german orchestral players) with a more "regal" sound.
