Probably. Pedal tones get to sounding kind of crappy the lower you go. So an F would be better than an Eb because it's easier to hit and it sounds better
That was awesome. I haven't heard a trombone section play that well in a long long time. Keep it up guys. Maybe you could bring your talent down under to New Zealand? How we say it in NZ "that was choice mate"
Lovely playing but there are a few things that bug me about this video.
First, while Larry Zalkind does a serviceable job, seeing Ralph Sauer play second here makes you wonder how it would have sounded with him playing lead instead. For my mind, Ralph is the most elegant, sophisticated player I've ever heard -- and my former teacher.
And, Neptune just doesn't work for trombone. Too choppy and fragmented.
Zalkind is too heavy. I love his playing, but it cold have blended in more with the rest. Those high D's and whatnot are not hard to hear at a slightly softer dynamic.
What is the highest note you have to hit in this piece?

Beautiful trombone playing. A must listen for trombonists of any style or level.

I loved hearing this live. The Rafael Mendez Brass Institute is an incredible place to go.

A lovely arrangement, to be sure, but why put it in F major when the original is in E-flat? For the pedal Fs?

amazing. Nimrod sounds so much better played by mellow low brass than high screeching flutes.
