comments on the Trombone forum: "I enjoyed the sonata. Particularly the 1st and 2nd movement. ... Great stuff! Keep it up"; "I thoroughly enjoyed your sonata, Geert, particularly the Moderato. The work seems to me to express a sort of nostalgia for something that was lost that is regained in the last movement, but not without a bit of melancholy. The old expression, 'You can't go home again', comes to mind. I also find it refreshing to hear a contemporary work for trombone in the romantic tradition. So many of the contemporary works for solo trombone that I've heard performed at two International Trombone Festivals try too hard to be 'modern', and I find them particularly unsatisfying. While I greatly admire the technical skills and musicality of the performers, I don't buy the CDs ..."; "... it's really good stuff. Lots of great motivic development in there and stuff. ... I may even consider buying it and performing it if I were still in college studying that post-romantic style thing ..."

I really like this piece but can I ask Why do you go in to the treble clef when its far more common to use the tenor clef on the trombone? The start is beautiful and I love the triplets and the quavers together.

@JLewiz Thanks. Earlier I used the tenor clef and after posting the score on SibeliusMusic, I got the opposite message from a trombonist (who probably doesn't like the tenor clef).
