The piccolo trumpet’s celebratory and expressive sound exhibits all the typical characteristics of the trumpet, although it is brighter and clearer than the trumpet in C. Today, the piccolo trumpet is used for orchestral playing mainly when the trumpet part is permanently in a very high register, e.g., for the performance of baroque clarino parts in compositions by Bach and Handel.
