Andante e Polacca

Gottfried Herrmann was in aIl probability 20 when he wrote this work during his stay in Hannover (1827-1829). Gottfried Herrmann was at this time under the direct influence of Louis Spohr and Moritz Hartmann. The writing is nevertheless already assured, and written during the phase of musical evolution when the Romantic era was being born out of the Classic.

This Andante e Polacca, with its delicate charm, fills a certain gap in the solo trumpet repertoire of this epoch.
