TrombOnly

It was the trombone solo TrombOnly that won Martin Christoph Redel, composer, teacher and important figure of the German music scene, the composition award in Novi Ligure in 2014. For many years, the Piedmontese town has dedicated itself to the cultivation of music for wind instruments. And even there, Redel already attracted attention with solo pieces for cornet as well as for alto saxophone.
TrombOnly (for tenor trombone with thumb valve), a piece of about 7 minutes' duration, presents playing techniques like flutter-tonguing, bisbigliando, mute or glissando, combined with a varied progression with recitative-like, sostenuto and rhythmically lively passages.
