Carl Fischer Twelve Fantasias For Unaccompanied Trombone

Carl Fischer

Twelve Fantasias

For Unaccompanied Trombone

This Wonderful Collection Holds A Place In The Literature Alongside The Bach Cello Suites. Like The Bach Suites, They Represent A Major Composer's Contribution To The Literature Of A Solo Instrument And Are A Valuable Resource For Study And Performance. Unlike The Bach Suites, These Fantasies Are Composed For A Wind Instrument And Thereby Require Little Compromise On The Part Of The Trombonist. Phrase Breathing Is An Inherent Part Of Their Construction, While Double Stops Are Not. Seven Of The "Twelve Fantasies" Are In Bass Clef, Five Are In Tenor Clef. All Are Playableon The Tenor Trombone, Although Some Of Them Favor The Lower Register A Nd Will Sound Well On The Bass Trombone.
