Solo Works are Terrific

There sure are some amazing trombone concertos and solos to be admired. For example, Rimsky-Korsakov wrote a wonderful concerto for trombone. Incidentally, trombone means large trumpet. Here are some other interesting facts about this versatile instrument.

The trombone came into existence in the middle part of the fifteenth century. By the seventeenth century, the slide trombone was being produced in three different sizes. Nowadays, treble, alto, tenor, bass, tenor-bass and double-bass (contrabass) trombones are all different members of this instrument’s family.
