[edit] High notes and pitch

I removed the following: "The highest note of this concerto occurs in the first movement (super E flat) and is pitched at 1108.73 Hertz." I didn't think it was particularly noteworthy. Michael Haydn's concerto contains higher notes (F sharp I believe) and the Hz number depends on your reference pitch (which was a half-step lower back in Haydn's day). Joseph Haydn's concerto is notable for its low notes anyways (or at least its chromaticism in the lower region. Documenting the removal here in case someone would like it restored.

[edit] Weidinger's Instrument

I added a citation-needed tag for the negative reviews of the original instrument. Also, there should be a note that regardless of how bad (or odd) the modified instrument sounded, the surviving score with chromatic notes has proven to be very important because the trumpet was eventually successfully modified with valves to play chromatically throughout its range. Its frequently performed and recorded on modern trumpets. DavidRF 15:03, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
