Very nice. Are there any recordings of what Revelle originally intended to be played on a small bore tenor trombone rather than the large bore trombones of the present?

There are lots of them. If it's any help, I used a MUCH smaller mouthpiece on my Large bore for this solo.Jimprindle wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 6:40 pm Very nice.

There's actually a recording of it conducted by Ravel.Jimprindle wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 6:40 pm Very nice. Are there any recordings of what Revelle originally intended to be played on a small bore tenor trombone rather than the large bore trombones of the present?
The glissandi are, expectedly, not played where they're written in the printed editions, but were at the player's discretion.

Re: My take on Bolero w/ orchestra
By repute it was Andre Lafosse who played the solo on that recording, and he didn't like glissandi (if we are to believe his famous method)! He played it also in the first ever recording conducted by Piero Coppola with exactly the same glisses and rhythmic style. It was recorded 3 days earlier than Ravels own, which may have actually been conducted by Albert Wolff because Ravel couldn't manage to keep the tempo.LeTromboniste wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 2:21 amThere's actually a recording of it conducted by Ravel.Jimprindle wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 6:40 pm Very nice.

Both recordings easy to find on Youtube
