[@DeftPumpkin-db3pc]

Can anyone tell me how the trombones are playing at 3:25. I’m trying to become a composer myself and I absolutely need this.

[@JankyMusicStudios]

What do you mean?

[@DeftPumpkin-db3pc]

@@JankyMusicStudios The trombones sound scratchy kind of.

[@spacecowboy2431]

@@DeftPumpkin-db3pcIn the sheet music, there is an optional 8vb, so you're hearing two trombone parts at that point, one playing pretty low in the trombone's range. With the intensity of the piece and how the performers play it in this recording, it makes a cool effect.

[@DeftPumpkin-db3pc]

@@spacecowboy2431 Thank you so much!

[@brokbear]

why does it say this piece is a grade 2

[@apronchaperon]

Because it *is* a grade 2.

[@HMSandNMHSPreformingArts]

Imo it's more of a 2.5
