Best Answer

The use of brass instruments in the orchestra began around the 17th century, (although concertos for those instruments appeared earlier than that). Both the natural horns and natural trumpets were occasionally used, but not with any regularity until the mid 18th century.

Trumpets were sometimes used, but were very limited at that time; composers who did write for them started doing so around 1700. French Horns had been used for a while but didn't really become standard in the orchestra until around 1750. That's really when brass instruments started to be used as a section. Mozart introduced the Trombone in his Requiem and Beethoven used it extensively in his later symphonies, but it didn't become a regular instrument until the early-mid 19th century.
