When was the trumpet created?

Answer 1

The horn reached its first wave of popularity in the 18th century with the technique we call hand horn playing. The horn player filled in the gaps of the natural harmonic series by inserted the hand it the bell and either sharpening or flattening the harmonics enough to play diatonically and chromatically int he middle range of the instrument. This made the horn the most popular solo instrument of the brass family. We have 4 concerti by Mozart (plus 3 more fragments), concerti by F.J. Haydn, and many by A. Rossetti. Giovanni Punto was the star hornist of that era and Mozart's friend. Joseph Leitgeb was the hornist for whom he wrote his concerti.
