III. Allegro (rondo form)
This is the last concerto of Haydn's career written
 in 1796, when he was in his mid-60's. He was
 stimulated to compose it by the
 invention of a new keyed trumpet 
Keyed Trumpet
by Anton Weidinger,
a trumpeter in the Viennese
Imperial Court Orchestra who had spent his
career perfecting an "organisirte Trompete"
(organized trumpet) designed to fill in the
gaps between the notes of the natural series
[the only notes the natural trumpet
Natural Eb Trumpet (No Valves)
(the instrument used at the time) could play];
five or six holes drilled in the instrument and covered by
 padded keys provided the missing chromatic notes.
Weidinger's trumpet had more latitude in its lower range.
The keys on the instrument permitted the trumpeter to
 produce more pitches, particularly chromatic tones,
 not available on the earlier trumpet. 
Haydn, experimenting with the keyed trumpet's new
capabilities, takes this concerto into levels of innovation
and virtuosity that had never been done before. 
The draw back to this new trumpet was a loss of brilliant
tone. Eventually, about 1820, that was remedied when
the keyed trumpet gave way to the valve trumpet which
prevails in the modern symphony orchestra.
