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.
