俄國小號音樂的啟蒙，及其往後發展的重大影響，來自於首批應聘俄國音樂學院的優秀德國小號演奏家，貝姆即為其中之一。由於當代作曲家未將小號視為獨奏樂器，小號獨奏作品十分稀少，小號演奏家們多自行創作以利演奏及教學，而此協奏曲正是貝姆最重要的作品之一。
這首小號協奏曲呈現了當代盛行的音樂型態：一為俄國音樂當時的主流──結合德國傳統與俄國民謠影響的「俄國民族主義音樂」──，結構上是以西方傳統和聲及曲式為基礎的德國音樂理論，風格上則遍佈著許多重複節奏性動機、簡單的對話式旋律、以及俄國音樂中常見的濃烈情感或情緒。二則反應當時的短號炫技風潮，以繁複的快速音群穿梭曲間，獲取聽眾熱烈的掌聲。從此曲的創作手法中，可以看出貝姆努力尋求流行趨勢與音樂價值之間的平衡。
由於演奏此曲有炫技的需求，吹奏者必須克服技巧的和耐力上的挑戰；另外，因應俄式音樂中情感掛帥的戲劇性質，吹奏者須著重音樂性的處理，充分展現俄國民族主義音樂特有之熱情揮灑、動人心魄的深刻情緒感受。
