  • The Brass Instrument Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York
    113 THE BRASS INSTRUMENT COLLECTION OF THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART IN NEW YORK HERBERT HEYDE The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses a large, comprehensive collection of musical instruments. Managed by one of seventeen curatorial departments, the Musical Instruments Department, it contains approximately 4,500 instruments. Roughly forty percent of them are of western, the rest of non-western origin. The Egyptian, Islamic, Arms and Armor, Medieval Departments, and a few other departments, house some additional instruments. Another resource consists of iconographic representations of musical instruments that are to be found in almost all departments. They are included in The Performing Arts Index of RIdIM.1 The western brass, or “lip-vibrated” instruments of the Musical Instruments Department amount to only 283 items—an indication that this fi eld was never a priority of the museum’s collecting activities. The basis of The Metropolitan Museum of Art musical instruments collection was provided by Mary Elisabeth Adams Brown (1842-1918), who donated her collection from 1889 in successive installments in the name of her husband, John Crosby Brown. Beginning with 276 instruments in 1889, the gift ultimately amounted to more than 3400 items in 1918. To be precise, before Brown’s donation there was already a collection of forty-four instruments in the museum, given by Joseph William Drexel (1833-1888), a wealthy amateur musician and philanthropist in New York. The Brown family, of British origin, engaged in international banking and graciously supported American culture, including education and theology. Besides musical instruments, Mrs. Brown collected lace, embroidery, and portraits of musicians, which are now kept in the Prints and Drawings Department of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.2 A few years after the Crosby Brown collection began to arrive in 1889, the museum provided gallery space for its public display.

  • The “Catholic” Fingering—First Valve Semitone: Reversed Valve Order in Brass Instruments and Related Valve Constructions
    73 The “Catholic” Fingering—First Valve Semitone: Reversed Valve Order in Brass Instruments and Related Valve Constructions Joe R. Utley† and Sabine K. Klaus In 1985 Joe R. and Joella F. Utley acquired a trumpet for their collection of brass instruments in which the first and the second valves are reversed (Figure 1a, b); that is, the first valve creates a descending semitone while the second valve lowers the pitch a whole tone. This is the opposite of customary practice today. This trumpet is faintly stamped on its German-silver garland, ALOIS GENTNER IN DIL[LINGEN] (Figure 2). Dillingen is located in south Germany, just north of Augsburg. Figure 1a, b Trumpet in B by Alois Gentner, Dillingen, ca. 1860 (Utley/NMM,f 6821. Photo: Mark Olencki). 74 HISTORIC BRASS SOCIETY JOURNAL Figure 2 Signature of the trumpet by Gentner (Utley/NMM, 6821. Photo: Mark Olencki). For many years it was a curiosity. If handed to accomplished players to blow a few notes, it would befuddle them. A few could figure it out in a few minutes but none had ever heard of this bizarre valve order before. Over the years, several more instruments with this valve order were acquired for the Utley Collection: a trumpet by Andreas Barth, Munich, with only two valves in this configuration (Figure 3a, b); another three-valve trumpet by Dominicus Leicher, Augsburg (Figure 4a, b); a soprano saxhorn by Isaac Fiske, Worcester, Massachusettes (Figure 5); an unsigned American cornet in which the player has the choice between the normal or the reversed valve order (Figure 6a, b); and finally a late-nineteenth-century trumpet by Conrad Weidlich, Regensburg (Figure 7a, b).

  • 103 Rotary-Valve Trumpets. Instruments with Clock-Spring Returns Constitute
    UTLEY & KLAUS 103 Figure 22 Trumpet in C by Andreas Barth, Munich, ca. 1845 (M Stadtmuseum, 79-38); with piston ends after Leopold Uhlmann. rotary-valve trumpets. Instruments with clock-spring returns constitute the second largest group among the double-piston valves, reaching their peak in the 1840s. There is a third operating mechanism for double-piston valves—one which also uses levers, but shorter ones. Such instruments appeared as early as the 1820s, but were used principally in the 1840s and 1850s. These instruments are held vertically with the loop above the bell, like those with long levers. According to Heyde this model originated in Adorf in Saxony, where it is first recorded in a trumpet by Johann Gottlieb Roth. His pupil Carl August Müller (1804-70), who was born in Adorf, built instruments in the same style Figure 23 Unsigned trumpet in G with short levers and flat spring (GNM, MI 380). 104 HISTORIC BRASS SOCIETY JOURNAL around 1835. According to drawings of Müller’s instruments, published by Heyde,24 they had the semitone valve first. Müller settled in Mainz in 1824; this is the reason why this model was called the “Old Mainz” valve later on. The earliest instrument with this construction seems to be the unsigned trumpet in G (GNM, MI 380, Figure 23), which could be as early as 1835 or even a little earlier. This instrument has a flat spring as return mechanism, the oldest form of this valve type. Carl August Müller introduced small rollers to improve the operation of the return- spring in 1835.
