Concertino No. 2 in B Flat, Opus 12 for Trombone and Piano

Ferdinand David (1810-1873)

The 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 trombone. It is challenging but well-suited to the instrument and a quality piece of music. The editor hopes that this piece will find its place as a mainstay in the literature for trombone.

Ferdinand David was born in Hamburg in the same house where Felix Mendelssohn had been born a year earlier. He would later become the concertmaster of the famed Gewandhaus Orchestra and professor of violin at the Leipziger Konzervatorium under the leadership of the same Felix Mendelssohn. He worked closely with Mendelssohn on the latter's famous violin concerto and gave the premiere performance. David's Concertino in E flat for Trombone and Orchestra is one of the most performed pieces in the literature for trombone and is arguably the finest work for that instrument from the romantic (19th century) period.
