Foreword
With this competition, the Hochschule für Musik Würzburg and the Bertold Hummel Foundation wish to pass
on to younger generations of musicians an active
involvement with the work of the composer Bertold Hummel (1925-2002). With
his wide-ranging œuvre, he is considered
an important representative
of German cultural life in the second half of the 20th century. Throughout
his life, Bertold Hummel was energetically engaged in promoting
upcoming young musicians, not only in his position as President (later
Honorary President) of the Hochschule für Musik Würzburg, but also in many
other cultural/political bodies in Bavaria and beyond the borders of the
Federal Republic of Germany.
A word of welcome
The tenth Bertold Hummel
Competition is taking place in Würzburg in 2022 and is dedicated to classical trumpet literature with an emphasis on the music of the
20th and 21st centuries. I was very pleased to take
over the patronage of this competition, having of course been closely linked with Bertold
Hummel on an intellectual and personal level from his beginnings in Freiburg and
later during his work in Bavaria. May the reputation of the competition named after
him in turn spread to the music universities
and conservatories of Austria, German and Switzerland and attract many young
artists – bringing joy to the performers and honouring the memory of an important
creator and teacher of music.
