Detail information

David's Concertino No. 2 in B-Flat was recently discovered while surfing the internet. The version found stated that it was a Concertino for Viola and Piano. However the Piano reduction had the solo part written for Bassoon. It was followed by a separate Solo part for Viola. However, upon examination, this proved to be and orchestral viola part and not a solo part at all. From this, one could conclude that there must have been, and perhaps still exists, a score and parts for a full orchestral accompaniment.

Although not originally for Trombone, this piece lends itself admirably to the lyrical and heroic nature of the instrument. It is challenging but well-suited for Trombone, and a quality piece of music. The editor hopes that this piece will find its place as a mainstay in the literature for Trombone.
