Piano score and solo part

Primary Genre: Solo Tenor Trombone - with piano

There is always a need for familiar melodies that can ‘sing’ on the trombone. Add this one to the list as Ralph Sauer continues to add to the working repertoire for the instrument. Rhythmically not difficult, but it will take mature musical skills to make this sound as it deserves to be heard and played. A relaxed upper register is desired even though the work does not go so high, a1 nine times, because that is what the music needs. This is excellent material for solo recitals or incidental solo work. If you have never visited the Cherry-Classics site, do it now. You will be pleased what you find there and you can download the piece right away.
