KEYED TRUMPET

  • Covered holes in Eb
  • Demand by guilds, soloists and composers

  • Popularized by Anton Weidinger

KEYED TRUMPET

  • Search for chromaticism
  • Thematic and lyrical possibilities
  • Trumpet guilds and natural trumpet image
  • Increase the availability of trumpets
  • Stopped horn popularity

KEYED TRUMPET

  • Became known for only solos
