“French pianist, arranger, composer and conductor, Jean-Michel Defaye (b. 1932) entered the Paris Conservatoire at the mere age of ten years old. His successful compositions and arrangements are mainly for brass, In the Style of Schumann, composed in 2000, being no exception. With a typical performance lasting about four and a half minutes, Defaye's In the Style of Schumann is so named due to the composer drawing on compositional techniques of the great Robert Schumann. Defaye's understanding of the Trombone is clear throughout the work, with use of exciting techniques and contrasts. Furthermore, Defaye's passion to explore a variety of preceding composers is clear with In the Style of Schumann being a part of a series which explores the music of many great composers. For all aspiring trombonists wishing to vary and expand their repertoire, In the Style of Schumann by Jean-Michel Defaye is essential.&rdquo.
