The work is composed in three movements (typical of a concerto) and they are marked as follows: The piece is often performed in E-flat major, which makes the fingering less difficult on modern E-flat and B-flat trumpets.Ī typical performance lasts around 17 minutes. Originally this piece was written in E major. It is unknown whether this was in agreement with Hummel. There are places, primarily in the second movement, where Weidinger is believed to have changed the music because of the execution of the instrument. It was written in December 1803 and performed on New Year's Day 1804 to mark Hummel's entrance into the court orchestra of Nikolaus II, Prince Esterházy as Haydn's successor. 
Johann Nepomuk Hummel wrote his Concerto a Trombe Principale ( Trumpet Concerto in E Major) for Viennese trumpet virtuoso and inventor of the keyed trumpet, Anton Weidinger (as had Joseph Haydn).
