But wait, a story from good old Germany! Playing Bach with two other trumpeters,(all playing parts for trumpet in D and all playing piccolo trumpet in A) we, never could agree on what to call notes: for one of us it was the sounding pitch (D) for another the written pitch (C) and the other the pitch on piccolo--F!

While music theory may be more advanced in Germany, trumpeters aren't!
