Die Welt der Altposaune – World of Alto Trombone, 2nd edition

Abstract

This book contains research on an alto trombone from its history to its use in the orchestra today. For four hundred years great composers from Gabrieli to Britten have composed extensively for the alto trombone. The alto trombone has always been an indispensable instrument for the realisation of musical and tonal ideas. Today the alto has reaffirmed its place in regular concert performance world wide. There is a tremendous need and curiosity for a resource that contains all the relevant information that a trombonist might need.
