      Just been listening to the first half of Mr. Biss's recital - very disappointed at what, at least to me, came across as sometimes wayward and undisciplined playing. Shan't bother with the second half. Still, you can't please all of the people of all the time.
      I'm not sure why my 'T' has remained unsolved following my generous hint as to the shared opus number....

        Just home and I noticed a Trumpet concerto on that link which now works... Going from memory, didn't Casella also write a Trumpet concerto? Is that the link? Telemann could be the German, as I think he did too. I've forgotten the third element of the question

        More anon. Am I on the right track?

        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          Christopher Rouse has written / is writing a Trumpet Concerto. He was born in Baltimore.

          And is the connected German Haydn or Hummel?

            Sorry, not trumpet. Have a look at #12403. The German composer is by general consent among the very greatest.

              Triple concerto?

                Just looked in, first time today. There is a Three Movements for Orchestra (Symphony No. 1) by Zwilich if that helps?
                Edit: Whoops! cross posted with Caliban! Scrub that!
                Double Edit: I am sure puzzlers are aware that Wiki will be closed tomorrow!

                  So far I think we have:

                  Alfredo Casella, born in Turin, Triple Concerto, Op 56, the same opus number as Beethoven's Triple Concerto

                  Ellen Taaffe Zwilich, born in Miami, Triple Concerto

                  I cannot find a composer born in Baltimore who has written a Triple Concerto.

                          The missing work is the Triple Concerto Op. 71 by Stanley Weiner. I would suggest that subcontrabass gets to set the next question in view of his spotting the triple aspect and further contributions - what think you?

                            V happy with that. My #12411 was just a random guess...
