University of Arizona Trombone Studio member Joseph Turner and pianist Chanwook Park perform Eric Ewazen's Sonata for Trombone and Piano in the second Wind/Percussion area recital of the Fall 2007 semester on Friday, October 26.
My orchestra is playing this piece and I'm sad that I cannot find an orchestral version anywhere! But this piece is so enchanting to listen to. We are working on all three movements of it. The second one is my favorite.
it is pianistic, but it's not very sightreadable due to all the jumping around. if any of you are trombonists interested in playing this, give your accompanist time to learn it. i'm a staff accompanist and got this last thursday. we're to perform it next tuesday and this week is spring break. i have basically 3 days on which i can practice, due to my plans. that's really not enough time. fortunately, the ensemble is easy as long as the soloist can count and knows his part.
the piano is not as bad as you think it is. I'm currently working on it. It is very pianistic and flows rather well so that its not like lets say the hindemith sonata for trombone and piano.
James C. Lebens on the Lebens, Eklund and Ewazen plays Ewazen. you can find it on Amazon or other website that sells cds it's a very good record it's on tenor trombone though.

The Diamond World is probably Ewazen's best work.

I'm playing this piece for my recital in about a month and I know it's a hard one. Good performance!
