This is a charming piece of music in 6/8 time and taken from one of Beethoven’s Sonatina’s for piano. In this arrangement the trombone 1 plays the melody whilst trombone 2 accompanies playing broken chords with the bass trombone providing the bass line. A tempo of 66 dotted quarter beats to the minute is recommended and the music sounds in the key of F. Accompaniments are in place playing at 63, 66 and 69 dotted quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute giving the trombone 1 player the opportunity to practice as part of an ensemble.
