I imagine John Blanke as an adept trumpeter who was underpaid for his services. My portrait hones-in on Blanke's fluency and the trumpet chords, syncopation and riffs he must have privately practised daily. John Blanke would have warmed up on his instrument before performing at the royal courts. How did he play to tune up for his official repertoire and duties ?
