This piece is a masterclass in "easy to learn, difficult to master". The notes on the page in this concerto aren't extraordinarily difficult - yes, it does stretch the range on both ends (3+ octaves - pedal Ab to high Bb), but nothing a high school or college trombonist shouldn't be able to play. The fast tempo is challenging, but doable with enough reps. I can play most of this without too much trouble, albeit not close to a standard I'd be comfortable performing. What I - and many other amateurs - *can't* do is play it with consistent volume and tone quality, or consistently avoid cracking a number of notes, or expanding the piece's range by nearly a whole other octave during the cadenza, or rehearsing it perfectly one day and feel confident in repeating that perfection the next day. And I certainly can't do any of that while making it look so effortless. This is where the pros operate on another plane of existence, and I don't think they get enough appreciation for it. This is my favorite rendition of this piece. Bravo.

[@mariusdewit4457]

Well this is definitely an extreme sport. As a musician I think you have to find a balance between taking some risk while still maintaining control. The adrenaline rush together with the feeling of creating and sharing something beautiful with an audience on this level must be truly amazing.

[@davidrockefeller2007]

Playing this with a really big sound and clean is where it separates the ok players from the great ones

[@joshmoran8415]

funny that you mention it can be played by someone in highschool, this was my audition piece for first trombone back in my sophomore year, i got the seat but dropped band in my junior year to focus on photography, still miss band to this day

[@summerofstacey6676]

Holy Cow!! David!! (i used to go to HPBC!!)) I'm learning the piano accompaniment for this piece for band UIL in two weeks.

[@bencurmusicproductions9677]

As a composer/arranger and non-brass background, the trombone is a mysterious instrument. Thanks for the education. I didn't know the R.K. wrote such a thing. Seems very atypical for him.

[@maxwellkowal3065]

For further study, look at the Ferdinand David Concertino, Grøndahl Concerto, Tomasi Concerto, Hindemith Sonata, Sulek Sonata, and Creston Fantasy to name a few and get started.

[@raymondhorton9668]

RK was in charge of military bands for a while. Also wrote solo works for oboe and clarinet.

[@lynngrant4343]

My dad had a recording of this on LP when I was a kid. (My dad was an amateur trombone player.) That was my first introduction to R.K., and I loved it. I was surprised when I heard the rest of his works. (I love many of them, too, but they are very different from this.)

Of all the performances of this piece that I have scoured for inspiration in my own performance, this one by far takes the cake.

[@John_thomas_kane]

this unlocks a deep memory of trying out for regional concert band ( I made it on a technicality 😂 ) But seriously, this piece is masterfullh crafted to put the trombone out in front. It setd the expectation of trombone glory, then toys with the very idea thereof, right before brilliantly accomplishing what it set out to prove. Mr. Rimsky Korsakov is a genius.

[@Chris994601]

Chris994601 I’m surprised you’ve never seen anybody lick their mouthpiece.. I have been doing it for awhile now and it really helps when you get dry mouth but it is just like licking your lips in a way. I guess I’m just trying to say that I use this “technique” a lot in my practices.

[@thegoodholly]

The trombonist is amazing. But let’s also respect those clarinets who are playing ridiculously fast triplets for ages! Anyone who’s ever played a fast repeating pattern like that for endless measures understands the difficulty. 😮So exhausting!

I got to play this at a our symphony orchestra concert. It was s strange. I went in to the audition not thinking the judges would like it. Apparently they did. Eight people auditioned. After all of us were through with our auditions they announced who would play the featured solo piece at the winter concert. I was chosen. Freaky! The director had a very hard task. He needed to transpose from the wind ensemble to stringed orchestra every part. I was 16 years old. Breathe control and articulation are so difficult on this solo.
