Prof. Markus Würsch
The Swiss trumpet virtuoso Markus Würsch was born in 1955 in Emmetten, Nidwalden in the spectacularly scenic region of lake Lucerne. He studied trumpet and brass ensemble conducting at the Conservatoire in Zurich and Lucerne where he received his degree with honours. He won the coveted Migros competition, and subsequently received a grant which enabled him to spend a year at the Conservatoire Nationale Supérieur in Paris. He also spent time studying with Charles Geyer at the Eastman School of Music (Rochester NY), with Vincent Cichowicz at Northwestern University of Chicago, and with Adolphe Herseth (principal trumpet of Chicago Symphony Orchestra). In 1981 Markus won the audition for principal trumpet with the Tonhalle Orchestra, Zurich, holding this prestigious post for fourteen years. In 1995, he spent a year studying at the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music, London. There he studied under Michael Laird and Crispian-Steele Perkins (Baroque-Trumpet), Jeremy West (Cornetto) and Phillip Jones (Ensemble Direction). He has performed as soloist at the Lucerne International Festival and with the Tonhalle Orchestra.
With the support of the Swiss National Fund and the Bern University of the Arts, Markus conducted extensive research and subsequently developed a reconstruction of a 19th century keyed trumpet, in collaboration with the instrument maker Konrad Burri. The original instrument, the focus of the research, was found in the private collection of Karl Burri, Zimmerwald, near Bern. With this reconstructed instrument, Markus went on to perform and produce a CD recording of the trumpet concertos of Joseph Haydn and Nepumuk Hummel in June 2013.
For some years now, he performs almost exclusively on historical instruments. He frequently appears with the ensembles “La Cetra” and I Barocchisti (RSI, Italian Swiss Radio) and continues to interpret the Haydn and Hummel trumpet concertos as soloist on the keyed trumpet.
Markus Würsch is professor of Modern, Natural and Romantic trumpet at Bern University of the Arts, and at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts.

Ernst Sachse
1813-1870
Ernst Sachse was born in 1813 in Altenburg (near Leipzig). He received his musical training from his father and from Wilhelm Barth, a musician in Altenburg at the time. The military took him on as an oboist to help out the "Sächsischen Linien Bataillons" music corps, Altenburg. In 1822 he left the service, as another oboist was found to replace him, (officially he had another 6 years of service left). From 1834 he found a job in Weimar and played first and foremost as soloist in the Stadthaus there. In 1842, Sachse became first trumpeter in the duke's chapel. During 1844 he performed in several concerts in London. In 1850, Sachse was able to play his composition "concertino in Eb for Solo Eb Cornet and Brass ensemble" for the first time. Over the following 7 years he appeared as soloist in numerous concerts in London, Leipzig, Weimar, Etrecht, Amsterdam and Rotterdam. In 1870, Sachse died after a long spurt of bad health from edema.

Beautiful, pure, great sound ! I delight to listen to ! What precision and perfection ! Lightness and charm ! I'm fascinated with this performance and everything what Mr Wursch play ! That's a pity my English is poor and Deutsh worse...

[@SKBottom]

One of my favorite pieces. I've never heard it before with organ. Bravo!

[@Valkyry5]

Absolutely the First Time Ever hearing this Eb concerto! One thing I really enjoy is that this concerto make use of this soprano trumpet's high register which I think is Brilliant and very attractive; unlike the Hummel and Hyden pieces. I most definitely will make this one of my go-to trumpet videos! Bravo indeed*

A virtuoso trumpeter and virtuoso organist of equal merit. Markus Wuersch/Worsch? has chosen a work unique in that it was written by a renowned pedagogue of he trumpet & player for his own instrument. A transposed version is also available for those of us who are less capable than maestro M. W. The enduring worth of the concertino speaks...or rather sounds for itself.

[@allwinds3786]

He knows his way around that E3L!

[@normancanter1]

Ernst Sachse is best known to trumpet players for his ONE HUNDRED STUDIES..a basic book of studies. A popular edition is G. Schirmer's edited by Franz Herbst.

[@rjlwillems1]

You can order it by BIM Editions Switzerland, I just did ...

[@WaltersQuincy]

That was awesome! Where can I get the sheet music?

[@NM-apache]

Is that a Bb trumpet? Or E?

[@alexanderfreeman8921]

SW Storm Chaser, the horn that Markus Wuersch is playing in this video is an E-flat trumpet. Don Schneider correctly noted above that it is an E3L model, which is made by a Schilke, noted horn maker in the Chicago area.

[@muel0341]

Sounds a lot like Maurice Andre!

[@IgorGallon]

How can i get this score? Someone knows?
