Leopold Mozart's Trumpet Concerto in D major was completed in 1762, and is now "popular with trumpeters."[1] The work is in two movements:

  1. Largo[2]
  2. Allegro moderato

Besides the solo trumpet in D, the concerto is scored for two horns in D and strings. Only the first movement provides room for a cadenza; the Gábor Darvas edition published by Editio Musica gives an 8-measure cadenza which requires no ledger lines but consistently involves small note values. In fact, in regards to range, the concerto is "cautious."[3]
