He was for many years principal trombone at the Dresden Philharmonic and professor of trombone at the Dresden Conservatory Carl Maria von Weber. What I liked about him that he seems to have some ambitions in solo and chamber music. Most German trombonists just sit in their orchestras.

David's Concertino in a Jazz trombone quartet version:

Bach's Air in a trombone quartet version:

Wagenseil's Alto trombone concertio accompanied by 8 trombones:
