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

I met a trombonist during a production of the show Anything Goes and he had to play the trombone in a drunken manner in one of the songs, lots of sliding between the notes. He said it was a technique he had had to employ on a few occasions.

Nothing personal, NB, but when I saw the title of this thread I rubbed my hands in anticipation of some juicy gossip. Then I found out it was about a bass trombonist, which I suppose is the next best thing. Welcome anyway!

Sorry to disappoint Tony.

I'm sure every trombonist has had to play 'leaning on a lamppost' at some point.  I once finished a music hall revue with Show me the way to go Home, instruments and lights gradually dropping out until it was just me slurping around erratically in a spotlight.

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'

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 !

I'd agree with that judgement of the relative difficulties of those two Hindemiths - there is one rather evil bar in the trombone sonata but a far more sustained bit of fingertwisting is required at the end of the tuba sonata. Don't really know the Martin; quite fond of the Dutilleux Choral, Cadence et Fugato (title?) and particularly enjoy Basta by Folke Rabe, mainly because it is unaccompanied and I have a vivid memory of a friend performing it in a recital with the most blood-curdling war-cry as he ran on to the platform...

Glad to have you on board well in time for Sep 19.  Shiver me timbers!

I like the "Marijuana - Variations non sérieuses" of René Leibowitz. Isn't that for trombone and piano? Or trombone and other instruments?


Anyhow, welcome Notorious one... here, have a Ruscha
