      Dear friends,

      in August, I am to play Brahms 4, two movements on trp 1, two on 2. Yet unknown which ones. And being the latecomer that I am, I never properly learnt transposing, so I got myself enough trumpets for all the ordinary stuff. Now, Brahms 4 has 3 movements for trumpet in E (natural)... and one in C. Does anyone have transposed parts for this symphony for C trumpet throughout (or Bb or D or Eb)?
      Thanks for your help!

        If you're going to play it on only a one-pitched trumpet (C?) and the gig is in August, I'd enter the original in a notation program and easily transpose it the whole thing to C.

        Once in the notation program, you can easily make the transpositions with just the pressing of a button. And, of course, you'll also get a professionally printed copy to read from.
