Thoughtbox

Timing 5' 30'' About The Piece: Thoughtbox is a miniature trombone fantasy written periodically while improvising in the practice room on my trombone and transcribing the results. It was scored in the style of a typical French trombone solo, repertoire usually required by aspiring trombonists. The opening statement is a direct reference to the Morceau Symphonique, the first solo I was required to study at the Dana School of Music. It is perfect for a contest selection for an advanced high school player, and undergrad Jury, or a lyrical selection for a recital that is not too taxing on the chops.
