Eine besonders schöne, neue Ausgabe des Hummel Trompetenkonzerts ist 2010 im Henle Verlag erschienen. Die neu herausgegebene Urtextausgabe beinhaltet aber nicht nur eine Trompetenstimme in E sondern auch in B, C und Es. Der Herausgeber hat einige kleine Korrekturen zur Lesart bisheriger Ausgaben vorgenommen, die ich sehr spannend finde. Ein einführendes Vorwort rundet diese schöne Ausgabe ab, die Lust darauf macht, sich wieder mehr mit dem Hummel-Konzert zu beschäftigen.
