Trumpets and Other High Brass:  A History Inspired by The Joe R. and Joella F. Utley Collection  Volume 5: The Modern Trumpet by Sabine Katharina Klaus (2024) Trumpets and Other High Brass is a series of five volumes, illustrated with instruments from the Utley Collection at the National Music Museum and other major collections. This fifth and final volume of the history of high brass instruments deals with the trumpet of the modern era. Starting with the earliest patents related to the modern piston-valve trumpet in Paris in the 1870s, it traces the trumpet’s initial struggles to disentangle itself from the cornet and shake off the reputation as an elite orchestra instrument, to its dominance as the most important high brass instrument
