Advanced. Back in the day I always enjoyed playing the well-known trombone works by Alexandre Guilmant and Ferdinand David and I wanted to return to that type of language and writing in a short concert piece.  The music is direct in its expression, mostly exciting but sometimes lyrical. The pace of this étude is relentless and requires some deft double tonguing although I stayed away from too many running semiquavers.  The last note should ideally be the high D (concert) but a B flat is indicated as a suitable alternative. Rob Wiffin
