Johann Sebastian Bach and works for trumpet

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) used one or more trumpets in several of his works.
His whole life, Bach had trumpet players around him. His father, Johann Ambrosius Bach was string player, town piper and court trumpeter.
His second father-in-law (the father of Anna Magdalena Wilcken) was also a court trumpeter.

The most famous player connected to Bach was the Leipzig Stadtpfeifer, Gottfried Reiche.
