Fantasy Sonata, Op. 40 for Trombone and Piano by Benjamin Schroen is a work composed in 1900 which was forgotten and now rediscovered by musicologist and conductor, Dr. Keith Davies Jones.

Fantasy Sonata is written in the same virtuoso style as compositions of that period by Joseph Serafin Alschausky, and though quite challenging, it is fully idiomatic for the trombone. There is a passing ?reference? to the Concerto by Rimsky-Korsakov, and it is just possible that Schroen might have been familiar with that work as a trombonist himself. There are also some stylistic similarities to the Fantasia for trombone and organ Op.58 composed in the mid-19th century by Friedrich August Belcke (1795 ? 1874).

The 6.5-minute work featuring several short cadenzas, contrasting dramatic and expressive sections is in Romantic style, in bass and tenor clef and appropriate for intermediate to advanced performers.

Fantasie-Legende für Posaune und Klavier by early 20th Century Danish composer Axel Jørgensen was forgotten for quite a while but has been rediscovered, edited and recorded by noted Danish Trombonist and educator Niels-Ole Bo Johansen.

The work is in a late Romantic style with hints of expressionism, about 4 minutes in length and is appropriate for advanced intermediate level performers (range is up to a high B).

The beautifully performed sample is by Mr. Johansen and pianist Erik Kaltoft from the CD, The French Connection.

? The Bestiary or "The Procession of Orpheus" was written by Poulenc in 1919.

? Originally for voice and piano, with poems by Guillaume Apollinaire, the six short movements (about 5 minutes in length) are about the follow animals:

Dromedary Goat Grasshopper Dolphin Crayfish Carp

? This music is very suitable for young performers at the intermediate level and is a great way to introduce them to a major 20th century composer whose only other music for brass is the famous Trio for Trumpet, Horn and Trombone.
