I have always wondered about the case of the F trumpet in the second Brandenburg -- could this have been written for a situation in which the strings and ww. played at a Kammerton and the trumpeter used a high pitched but nominally Eb or even D trumpet?


What then of the recorder and oboe?


I think that what he's saying is that perhaps the Eb or D trumpet was pitched high enough to match the pitch of the recorder and oboe.

Of course that makes the trumpet be a trumpet in F, no matter what it was called when it was built, if it could match the oboe and recorder.
