Anton Weeren wrote this virtuoso Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra for Jeroen Schippers, solo trumpet player of the Marine Band of the Royal Dutch Navy. It is a challenging work for both the soloist and the piano player, in which the concerto style typically emerges. Overall, this piece consists of an opening, five subsequent movements based on the opening theme and a solo cadence.
