In the first decades of the 19th century, the introduction of the mechanism, which made the trumpet a chromatic instrument even in the low register, was the answer to the creative needs of composers of the time. This new invention radically changed the characteristics of the instrument, marking the beginning of a new musical approach. The first mechanism, invented by the Irishman Charles Clagget, was not successful: patented in 1788, it did not clearly explain how the valves were to be applied to the instrument. The model by horn player Heinrich Stoelzel, introduced by him in July 1814 in Berlin, had greater success. Four years later, Blühmel also patented his "Röhren-Schiebe Ventil or Schieberröhren", subsequently produced by the Schuster company; the first of these instruments built in Berlin was sent to Paris in 1826. There, F.G.A. Dauverneé (1800-1874), immediately recognizing the enormous potential of the new instrument, wrote the first method for the 3-valve trumpet (Méthode Théorique & Pratique de Cornet à Pistons ou à Cylindres, Paris 1840) accurately explaining its evolution and use. Following in Dauverneé's footsteps, in 1864, Joseph Jean-Baptiste Laurent Arban (1825-1889), his student and professor at the École Militaire, wrote the Grande Méthode complète pour cornet à pistons et de saxhorn, still considered one of the main reference texts for the trumpet. In this work, which aimed to propose a solo repertoire for trumpet and piano of French compositions, the B-flat trumpet with key mechanism and the C trumpet with piston mechanism were used, the latter now widely used in the French solo repertoire and in symphony orchestras. The former, with a softer sound, was introduced for the first time in military bands around 1830 and in orchestras 20 years later; the latter, with a brighter sound and precise articulation, was introduced in France later and has been continuously used for over a century, as well as played by many of the most important French trumpeters such as G. Mager, R. Voisin and R. Sabarich.
