Sie begleitet die Menschheit seit der Antike, wurde schon in der Bibel erwähnt und hat bis zum heutigen Tag bedeutende Wandlungen erlebt – von der Naturtrompete, wie sie im Grab von Tutanchamun gefunden wurde, bis zu den modernen Trompeten mit Klappen und Ventilen. Das kleinste Instrument in der Blechbläsergruppe ist auch unter professionellen und Laienmusikern verschiedener Richtungen (Jazz, klassische und Country-Musik usw.) das populärste.

Some instruments have experienced almost no fundamental changes from the moment they were created to the present day. But this is not the case with the trumpet. It's been around since ancient times (even described in the Bible) and has undergone a real evolution up to date, from the natural trumpets found in the grave of Tutankhamun to slide trumpets of Troubadours and modern valves. According to the records, trumpet used to be widely associated with the war – it was believed to have some magic power to summon a war. Some even believe that World War II, Persian Gulf War and Egyptian Revolution of 2011 had trumpets behind them! Magic or not, but what we know for sure is that trumpets have always been an important military component due to their loud and rich-tone signal that can be heard from a long distance. This smallest member of the brass family is by far the most popular among beginning musicians, while the professionals of all genres, be it jazz, classics, country or else, enjoy using it too. Until the trumpet's note range and music scales were widened to their maximum, there were not too many compositions written for it, but the number of pieces has increased significantly in the 20th century. Beloved instrument of countless classics like Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Gabrieli and modern performers like Armstrong, Gillespie and Davis, the trumpet is loved for its bright sound. Paul McCartney, Steven Tyler, Samuel Jackson, Richard Gere and other celebrities picked trumpet as their favourite instrument to play. In 2005, the famous car maker Toyota even created a robot that is designed to play trumpet only. Whether you are a celebrity, a robot, a pro musician or an amateur – we have gathered more than 9733 trumpet sheet music for you to pick and play.
