I'm looking for a trilogy that I read in the 1970s. It's about an old man who finds a trumpet in the basement, blows it and then discovers that he ruled another world and had forgotten who he really was during a trip to Earth. I don't know the title or the author, maybe someone can help me.

Boekenbytes a trilogy consists of 3 parts, doesn't it?
There are 6 of them.
Carl indicates having read it in the 1970s.
So what does that last one (#6) mean?

Only three have been translated, so a reference to the trilogy is obvious. And the translations appeared here in the mid-1970s. Moreover, the books can be read independently and form a completed story.

I think that these are indeed the 3 (translated) books that Boekenbytes mentions. Thanks for the responses!
