This piece is a masterclass in "easy to learn, difficult to master". The notes on the page in this concerto aren't extraordinarily difficult - yes, it does stretch the range on both ends (3+ octaves - pedal Ab to high Bb), but nothing a high school or college trombonist shouldn't be able to play. The fast tempo is challenging, but doable with enough reps. I can play most of this without too much trouble, albeit not close to a standard I'd be comfortable performing. What I - and many other amateurs - *can't* do is play it with consistent volume and tone quality, or consistently avoid cracking a number of notes, or expanding the piece's range by nearly a whole other octave during the cadenza, or rehearsing it perfectly one day and feel confident in repeating that perfection the next day. And I certainly can't do any of that while making it look so effortless. This is where the pros operate on another plane of existence, and I don't think they get enough appreciation for it. This is my favorite rendition of this piece. Bravo.
Well this is definitely an extreme sport. As a musician I think you have to find a balance between taking some risk while still maintaining control. The adrenaline rush together with the feeling of creating and sharing something beautiful with an audience on this level must be truly amazing.
funny that you mention it can be played by someone in highschool, this was my audition piece for first trombone back in my sophomore year, i got the seat but dropped band in my junior year to focus on photography, still miss band to this day
As a composer/arranger and non-brass background, the trombone is a mysterious instrument. Thanks for the education. I didn't know the R.K. wrote such a thing. Seems very atypical for him.
For further study, look at the Ferdinand David Concertino, Grøndahl Concerto, Tomasi Concerto, Hindemith Sonata, Sulek Sonata, and Creston Fantasy to name a few and get started.
My dad had a recording of this on LP when I was a kid. (My dad was an amateur trombone player.) That was my first introduction to R.K., and I loved it. I was surprised when I heard the rest of his works. (I love many of them, too, but they are very different from this.)
Amazing! The top notes in the first movement sounded so pure and he made it sound so easy. I'm attempting to do this for my GCSE recital but it's so difficult with braces :( Great performance :)

Oh goodness me, I have played this through so many times since I was 16, and it never comes out like this! Fantastically balanced and powerful playing all the way through is really an achievement.
Thanks for your appreciation! If you look at my channel, you will find many other videos about how to practice basics under the playlist Trombone First Aid... Give it a try!
I hate how he sounds sooooo freaking good!! I could train 5 years and still doesn't have his consistency, articulation, sound, embouchure, dynamic and energy ughhhhhh. God I love this performance so much. Don't mind me, I'm just envious at how admirable he is. I would love to be there and curse him for how good he issss!
What a wonderful performance. I played this in a High School contest, and won a blue medal many, many years ago. I remembered how beautiful the music is, but had forgotten how difficult it is to play until I watched this performance. I had also forgotten how many hours of practice it took to learn to play this piece. Great performance! Thanks.
I loved that during the cadenzas, you played some of the previous melodies in the improv sections. As someone who has played this before many times (it was my audition to get into my current school), it made me laugh and smile. Great job!
Very well played Sir, I enjoyed your playing very much. I played Trombone for 6 years, 6-12th year at school. I loved my Baritone Trombone with f trigger.
Before the video starts, an ad. Usually annoying, except when it shows you a guy playing Paganini's caprice 24 on the instrument you are about to see. First time I didn't skip an ad. Nice move TH-cam.
Of all the performances of this piece that I have scoured for inspiration in my own performance, this one by far takes the cake. The pedal octave in the stringendo section in Mvt. 2 is probably my favorite of many insanely musical moments of this performance. Thank you for being such an inspiration for myself and other growing trombonists.
This is a very powerful piece. It takes a lot of effort to play it that way, and I'm going to have to try to play it. I'll take your performance as a sample.
Thanks, I'm glad when someone is getting some positive motivation after watching my video! If you're interested in more content, please have a look at my channel and at my brass quintet's one, Italian Wonderbrass :-)
Chris994601 I’m surprised you’ve never seen anybody lick their mouthpiece.. I have been doing it for awhile now and it really helps when you get dry mouth but it is just like licking your lips in a way. I guess I’m just trying to say that I use this “technique” a lot in my practices.
this unlocks a deep memory of trying out for regional concert band ( I made it on a technicality 😂 ) But seriously, this piece is masterfullh crafted to put the trombone out in front. It setd the expectation of trombone glory, then toys with the very idea thereof, right before brilliantly accomplishing what it set out to prove. Mr. Rimsky Korsakov is a genius.
After playing this piece 3 separate times (one for high school solo and ensemble, one for an audition for my college music scholarship and another time for auditions in symphonic band) I would like for it to get out of my head. I love this piece, and you play it beautifully, but I never want to hear or play it ever again.
I'm doing this for a trombone solo for region band auditions and it's great to have you to reference on because you're switch between movements the dynamic changes and from accidentals to legato is so smooth
Thanks for beautiful playing. Great. When I was young 45 years ago I played it although with an amateur Orchestra at musicscool. It gave me a lot of memorys and good feelings. Thank you

I really love this solo, the third movement is just great. I think I will pursue this for Florida Solo and Ensemble. I also love the way this guy plays it!
The trombonist is amazing. But let’s also respect those clarinets who are playing ridiculously fast triplets for ages! Anyone who’s ever played a fast repeating pattern like that for endless measures understands the difficulty. 😮So exhausting!

I got to play this at a our symphony orchestra concert. It was s strange. I went in to the audition not thinking the judges would like it. Apparently they did. Eight people auditioned. After all of us were through with our auditions they announced who would play the featured solo piece at the winter concert. I was chosen. Freaky! The director had a very hard task. He needed to transpose from the wind ensemble to stringed orchestra every part. I was 16 years old. Breathe control and articulation are so difficult on this solo.
Thanks! If you are interested in developing better staccato and high register, have a look at my other videos bit.ly/TromboneFirstAid Soon I will also post new material!
Very fine playing by soloist and band (those triplets in clarinets are HARD!) One suggestion-memorization enhances any concerto performance. Soloist knows the piece well, I imagine the next step to “off-book” would not be hard!

Playing this with a really big sound and clean is where it separates the ok players from the great ones

Holy Cow!! David!! (i used to go to HPBC!!)) I'm learning the piano accompaniment for this piece for band UIL in two weeks.
agreed. i’m playing this in 8th grade and although i can play everything it says to do on the page, it still sounds like garbage
idk why but I listen to this every day
It's because it's an amazing piece and has resonated with you as well as me

RK was in charge of military bands for a while. Also wrote solo works for oboe and clarinet.
