Why do your trumpeters use rotary valves for Beethoven? Rotary valves were invented the year after Beethoven died. Valves in his lifetime were pistons, albeit a different design from the modern piston valve.

Of course, for any music written before 1815, they shouldn't use valves at all......

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.

To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.
