Jan Krtitel Jiri Neruda - his forenames mean John the Baptist George - received his education in Prague and for a time played the violin in a theater orchestra there, as did his elder brother by about two years Jan Chrysostomus (who took Premonstrate orders in 1726,and lived until his death in 1763 in Strahov Abbey.) After a period which was filled with concert tours, Neruda was taken on as a violinist in 1750 in the renowned Dresden court orchestra. Later he became concertmaster, and in 1772 he retired.
His compositions include church music, an opera Les Troqueurs, 18 symphonies, 14 instrumental concertos, and several trio sonatas.
This Concerto in E flat for horn displays the breath-taking range from c’ ’ to g’ ’’ (sounding pitch: e’ flat to b’’flat). It has, then, more or less the same range as Joseph Haydn’s trumpet concerto, although to be sure the latter piece descends further (to sounding b flat). Therefore, Neruda’s concerto is eminently suited for performance as a trumpet concerto and has already been accepted as such into the repertoire.

The Neruda trumpet concerto is a wonderful piece, but Editions BIM has let it down as a publisher. After just three days of ownership, there is significant color transfer on the back cover just from being stored next to other music. The three nested pull-outs are released only by pulling a staple, which is terribly inconvenient. The outer pull-out is a photocopy of the original manuscript, which serves no discernible purpose other than to act as a folder for the now loose Eb and Bb trumpet parts.Retzke and Tarr produce an edition hewing closely to the original manuscript. Any differences from major performances (e.g., absence of ties in the third movement) are noted in the foreword. Only essential dynamic shading and ornaments are given. I disagree with the decision to leave the second movement at such a slow tempo for the notes written in the absence of a conductor. Overall, this edition is best for scholarship and not for new players to learn.
