Bass trombone audition excerpts: "Ein Heldenleben", by Richard Strauss

Part of my series of the most common orchestral/opera excerpts requested for auditions. Filmed in Opera North's Howard Assembly Room (Leeds, UK) these videos have been created as a study aid for my students at the Royal Northern College of Music (Manchester, UK), but I am happy for them to be shared with anyone who finds them useful.

I’m doing these excerpts for my college placement audition for orchestra and symphonic winds. The excerpts I’m playing are from rehearsal 51 to rehearsal 65.
