Guy Ropartz - Pièce for Trombone and Piano

Joseph Guy Marie Ropartz (June 15, 1864 - November 22, 1955) was a French composer and conductor.

Pièce for Trombone and Piano (1908)

Christian Lindberg, trombone and Roland Pontinen, piano

Ropartz's musical style was influenced by Claude Debussy and César Franck. However he self-identified as a Celtic Breton, writing that he was the son of a country "where the goblins populate the moor and dance by the moony nights around the menhirs; where the fairies and the enchanters - Viviane and Merlin - have as a field the forest of Brocéliande; where the spirits of the unburied dead appear all white above the waters of the Bay of the Departed."

Shortly after Ropartz died, Rene Dumesnil wrote in Le Monde: "There is with Ropartz a science of folklore and its proper use, which one admires; but more often than the direct use of popular motifs it is an inspiration drawn from the same soil which nourishes the work, like sap in trees."

Sooner you learn the Tenor clef the better it is...if you want to play classical trombone in life, you MUST know your Tenor Clef...

Beautiful sound. As a cellist, I'm so immersed in the sound of string instruments, which are lovely, but I forget just how gorgeous the sound of a trombone can be. Thanks for posting.

@happinessAWAITS, it starts in E flat minor and ends in E flat major.

@EstJazzJ Yep, already found it and can read it now ^.^

If it's possible for anyone to transpose this for easier reading to Bass Clef, thanks :)
