96 HISTORIC BRASS SOCIETY JOURNAL Figure 16 Unsigned trumpet in Bf, Saxony, probably Markneukirchen, ca. 1840 (Markneukrichen, 77). (1778-1842) of Leipzig. 19 This valve type was further developed by Joseph Kail and Joseph Riedl in 1823, and later in 1830 by Leopold Uhlmann in Vienna. The latter used a similar construction still found on Viennese horns today, the so-called “Vienna valve.” As will become clear in this section, this term is too restricted and is not really appropriate for the early stages of the development discussed here, which took place mostly outside Vienna, in other German-speaking areas. To add to the confusion, the term Wiener Maschine was used in Bavaria at this time for rotary valves, not for double-piston valves. Thus, use of the term “Vienna valve” for a double-piston valve in our context would obscure the historical situation. As can be seen from Chart 4a, most of the instruments with double-piston valves date from the 1830s and ’40s. The earliest dated European instrument on the list, the trumpet by Michael Saurle from 1828, has these valves. Their latest occurrence can be found in the 1860s and ’70s on the instruments by Alois Gentner (Figure 1a, b). Chart 4b shows the distribution of the different types of double-piston valves in the decades from 1820 to 1860. The earliest double-piston valve construction with reversed order is distinctly different from the modern “Vienna valve,” particularly with respect to the operating mechanism. From the earliest instrument of 1828 until those of the 1840s, these valves were equipped with long levers and long return-springs. 20 This feature was used predominantly in Bavaria, but also in Switzerland. The majority of instruments with this characteristic date from the
UTLEY & KLAUS 97 1830s. Of twenty-nine such instruments, seventeen come from the Munich workshops of the Saurle family and Andreas Barth, two were built by Joseph Schneider in Regensburg, and one was made by Barth’s pupil Dominicus Leicher in Augsburg. Five instruments come from the workshop of the Swiss family Hirsbrunner, as does probably one more instrument that is signed only with the initials J.H., and finally, one was built by Christian Wilhelm Drawing 2 Double-piston valve of the trumpet in Bf by Andreas Barth, Munich, ca.1837 (Utley/NMM, 7058).
