Oskar Böhme's Trumpet Concerto in F minor, Op.18 is a three-movement concerto for solo trumpet and orchestra. It was composed in 1899 and premiered in St. Petersburg, Russia in the same year. The first movement, marked Allegro moderato, begins with a bold and dramatic orchestral introduction before the solo trumpet enters with a virtuosic cadenza. The movement features a lyrical second theme and a development section that showcases the soloist's technical abilities. The movement ends with a triumphant coda. The second movement, marked Andante, is a beautiful and expressive lyrical piece. The solo trumpet sings a melancholic melody over a lush orchestral accompaniment. The movement is characterized by its rich harmonies and emotional depth. The final movement, marked Allegro moderato, is a lively and energetic piece that showcases the soloist's technical abilities. The movement features a playful and rhythmic main theme that is developed throughout the movement. The concerto ends with a virtuosic trumpet cadenza and a triumphant orchestral conclusion. Böhme's Trumpet Concerto in F minor is known for its technical demands on the soloist, particularly in the first and third movements. The concerto also features lush orchestration and rich harmonies, particularly in the second movement. The piece has become a staple of the trumpet repertoire and is often performed in competitions and recitals.
