Mesto - Concitato; Grave; Giocoso (for Trumpet and Orchestra - with reduction for Trumpet and Piano)
André Jolivet (1905-1974) established his love for composition from a young age. This remainedthroughout his life, and he held the post of Professor of Composition from 1966-1970 at Paris Conservatoire. Concerto No. 2 For Trumpet was composed in 1955, and remains highly regarded.
Jolivet,himself a cellist, wished to explore composition for all instruments, and therefore has a considerable number of works in all fields. The composer's style is also known for its spirituality, and the desire to associate theeverydaywith the magical, and the human with the universal. Jolivet draws on acoustics and atonality, as heard in Concerto No. 2 For Trumpet. The piece requires high, virtuosic skills due to its expansive use ofextended techniques. For all advanced trumpeters, Jolivet provides an exciting, different piece for the instrument's repertoire.

Edited by Robert P. Block make it possible to play the work both on a B-flat trumpet as well as on a D instrument. The Concerto in D was published around 1715 in a collective edition that comprised six concerti and mentioned three composers' names, one of them being Giuseppe Torelli, to whom the work can be attributed unequivocally on stylistic grounds. Particularly striking is the fact that the parts of the two violins are sometimes worked out in a more virtuoso manner than that of the solo trumpet, which is only called for in the outer movements.The edition for trumpet and piano contains two solo parts, which make it possible to play the work both on a B-flat trumpet as well as on a D instrument.
