The Most Frequently Performed and Recorded Solos
compiled by
Charles Decker, Trumpet Professor
Tennessee Technological University

These original works for trumpet or cornet are performed and recorded so frequently that many are available in several editions. For alternative editions as well as orchestral and band accompaniments see the Robert King Music Brass Player's Guide. In addition to the composer and title, entries include composer dates, publication editor, date of the composition, and publisher. All the editions listed here are with piano accompaniment unless otherwise indicated. The Brandenburg Concerto #2 , while an orchestral concerto grosso (a group of soloists), is included as it is the most recorded work from any era or style which features trumpet. Three two trumpet baroque works are included (Franceschini, Manfredini, and Vivaldi) along with a singular trio (Bugler's Holiday).
