Does anyone have a link to somewhere I could hear it?

Hindemith Concerto for what? Do you mean the sonata for trumpet?

There is a Concerto for Bassoon,Trumpet and Strings. Maybe this is the one.

Right. Aside from that, I think that's about it as far as concerti for brass. The poster nust have meant the Sonata.

If you want to hear it - buy a CD. Be prepared to pay for the music.
I am sure that people can recommend some recordings of this piece.

Hindemith also wrote a very nice Horn Concerto. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wishes someone would have comissioned a Trumpet Concerto from him. The Trumpet-Bassoon Concerto is nice, but not quite as musically satisfying as, say his Trumpet Sonata.

That's amazing to me! All these years and i've never been aware of a horn concerto by Hindemith! We brass players have so relatively few concerti written for us by the legendary composers you would think you'd hear this piece played once in a while by our major horn principals.

Too bad it's ignored. Is it not a terribly good piece?

I heard it at Music Academy of the West a number of years ago. I remember it as a very nice piece! I'll have to get a recording someday. Maybe since horn players have so many more great concertos by major composers - especially Strauss and Mozart - the Hindemith gets unfairly neglected.

Actually, it's terrible to think of all the great Trumpet Concertos that could have been written by great 20th century composers when one considers the great trumpet writing in their music: Britten, Vaughan Williams, Stravinsky, Nielsen, Prokofiev, Copland, Barber, etc, etc, etc. Let's face it: our best pieces are by relatively minor composers, (save for Haydn), and are not even of "first rate" quality. Now, don't get all bent out of shape by that comment. It's just that Tomasi, Jolivet, even Hummel are not really on the same caliber as the composers in the first list above.

And how many non-trumpeters have heard of Alexander Arutiunian?

Manny, maybe you could get your orchestra to play it, and report for us what you think? Does your orchestra take requests from the players at all? Of course you'd be dropping your principal horn player in it a bit if he was asked to perform the solo!
