In the famous painting of Gottfried Reiche which was done by Leipzig artist E.G. Haussmann for the occasion of Reiche's 60th birthday in 1727, Reiche holds a coiled natural trumpet in his right hand. In his left hand, he holds a sheet of music manuscript on which is written a short "abblasen" or fanfare. The musical notes are depicted accurately on the painting, and the fanfare has been transcribed and performed by several artists. It has also served for many years as the theme music to the USA television show CBS Sunday Morning.
