And another welcome from a one-time lurker...

May I ask what brought you aboard? Did the increasing proliferation of threads about low brass instruments have anything to do with it? What finally made you think OK, time to start posting?

Ah, but of course!  Smiley

Don't know if you know about Benedikt Eppelsheim - he's building a new model of contrabass clarinet. Unfortunately he's not going to be building a new subcontra - apparently he's tried the Leblanc one and he can't get the concept to work to his satisfaction.

(Clarinettists and low-note lovers around the world please join me now in a cry of 'Damn and Blast!'.)

"Damn and Blast" (in a manly voice several fathoms below Middle C)

A warm welcome, Noto.

Notoriously Bombastic,
Welcome. I am glad we have instrumentalists here. I never played with trombone and don't know repertoire for trombone and piano.

There's plenty about t-p, although I wouldn't say anything first rate.

The Hindemith Sonata is quite good - it has an absolute beast of a piano part and ends with a 'Swashbuckler's Song'

Do you play any Jazz? There is a Jazz festival in Cork at the moment. They say a good trombone player from the USA is there and there is one week course or something. People with all sorts of quastions went to the course and had a great time there.
What does Swashbuckler song means?

Not really a jazzer - I'd rather sit at the bottom of a big band section and give things a bit of bite than solo.

Imagine a rather flamboyant pirate playing the trombone, with plenty of yo ho ho and more than likely several barrels of rum.

I am not much into jazz. Dixie jazz is fun. We have a good band here and we had a band from Norway visiting this summer.
Do you play in a band or an orchestra?
So you teach?

Welcome Not B - for a start I think baritone horns + Ufos has some mileage left so we look forward to your future posts !
As for trombone + piano, I reckon the piano part of the Hindemith's not nearly as beastly as you make out. I'll deal with that any day in preference to the last couple of pages of the tuba sonata.
And I'd nominate the Frank Martin Ballade as first rate !
