    Here is a rare opportunity for the bass trombonist to play music from the nineteenth century by a highly regarded composer. Weber was a gifted lyricist and this piece is full of beautiful phrases to bring out the best of the rich bass trombone tone. Players should never forget that the composer (however great) is totally at the mercy of the performer, who has a great responsibility to phrase and interpret the music with care and sensitivity.
