Jack Gale Duet #1
Slama #22
I absolutely love the Anton Slama book. There are so many studies in here which start like a basic scale exercise, but then take you someplace completely different. Many others are much more like a Bordogni vocalise. Regardless of style, tempo, or key (all sharps and flats found in here!), they always interest me.
In #22, I like to disregard the tempo marking of Moderato in order to get the whole thing done in one breath. Slide position suggestions are useful with a straight horn, but don’t make a lot of sense with an F attachment. The key is to practice difference lines slowly, and frequently switching the target areas, always staying cool and relaxed.
Allegro (Mozart)
From 33 Trombone Duets, ed. Miller
Moderato (Telemann)
This is a great little duet that several of my students have played recently. The leading part is actually written up an octave from what I played, but still works well if you’re not feeling up to a high D5.
This post includes individual audio parts! Metronome click too. Just download and play along!
Devienne — Allegro
First duet I’m posting, recorded in a rush but I feel like I’m getting the hang of video editing!
