Method for Trumpet with Keys and Valves by Giuseppe Araldi

Written by the first trumpet player of the Imperial Royal Theatre La Scala, Giuseppe Araldi’s Method for Trumpet with Keys and Valves (c.1835) documents a pivotal period in trumpet history, revealing that natural, keyed, and valved trumpets were all familiar to the principal trumpet player of this celebrated Italian opera house.

Araldi’s method includes natural trumpet exercises, concise études for natural, keyed, and valved trumpets, and additional studies based on Motivi di Opere (‘Opera Motifs’) by composers including Giuseppe Donizetti, Vincenzo Bellini, and Saverio Mercadante.

Edited by Russell Gilmour (author of ‘Just’ Natural Trumpet), this edition offers modern notation and the first complete English translation alongside corresponding facsimiles of the original nineteenth-century print, making Araldi’s method accessible in a clear and practical format for performers, teachers, and researchers.
