| Found in | New Grove, 2nd ed. WWW site, Dec. 12, 2002 (under Trumpet: Modern trumpeters, because of the variety of musical styles in which they are required to play and the perfection demanded of them in broadcast and recorded performances, need at least three or four instruments, including ones pitched in B♭ and in C for regular work, in D/E♭ and in high B♭/A (piccolo trumpet) for high parts and in Baroque music. The orchestral bass trumpet was designed to Wagner's specifications for the Ring.) |
