Structure and Functioning of the Orchestral Trombone Section

Summary/Abstract: Contemporary musicology has thoroughly explored and studied many aspects of solo performance of the brass section. The art of orchestral playing and in this case, of trombone sections of symphony and opera orchestras, occupies quite a humble position. The evolution of the art of trombone section is related to the history of European instrumental music, the development of music language, the development of timbre dramaturgy in the line of individuality of orchestral groups, in the context of the history of development of music dramaturgy in general. The orchestral activity of trombone section reflects the unbroken succession of components: single-handed work on performing apparatus, team or individual work on difficult passages within the brass family wind. The actual problems of the trombone section would occur in the course of the implementation of composer’s idea as a contradiction between the idea and the available performing music media, between the complexity of music material and the professional level of the musicians in terms both of technology and overcoming contradictions in performer’s psychology. The paper is part of my doctoral thesis: “Development of the Trombone Section until the Late Nineteenth Century”.
