Johann Melchior Molter's Trumpet Concerto No. 2 in D major, MWV 4/13, is a Baroque concerto for trumpet and orchestra. It was composed in the mid-18th century, and its premiere date is unknown. The concerto consists of three movements: Allegro, Adagio, and Allegro. The first movement, Allegro, is characterized by its lively and energetic tempo. The trumpet plays a prominent role in this movement, with virtuosic runs and fanfare-like passages. The orchestra provides a supportive accompaniment, with strings and woodwinds providing a rich harmonic backdrop. The second movement, Adagio, is a slow and lyrical section. The trumpet takes on a more melodic role, with long, sustained notes and expressive phrasing. The orchestra provides a delicate and understated accompaniment, with strings and woodwinds providing a gentle counterpoint to the trumpet's melody. The final movement, Allegro, returns to the lively and energetic tempo of the first movement. The trumpet once again takes on a virtuosic role, with fast runs and intricate passages. The orchestra provides a lively and rhythmic accompaniment, with strings and woodwinds providing a lively counterpoint to the trumpet's virtuosity. Overall, Molter's Trumpet Concerto No. 2 in D major is a showcase for the trumpet's virtuosity and expressive capabilities. Its three movements provide a varied and engaging listening experience, with a balance of lively and lyrical sections. The concerto is a testament to Molter's skill as a composer and his understanding of the capabilities of the trumpet and orchestra.
