The last movement of J. S. Bach's 2nd Brandenburg Concerto has a well
deserved reputation as being one of the finest pieces of virtuoso trumpet
writing. It is however a concerto for four instruments (trumpet, violin, oboe
and flute). This transcription is for soprano, 3 cornets and band and is
playable by most bands at 1st section or above.
As well as a fine piece in its own right, it works as an encore to a soprano
or cornet solo for nearly any occasion.
