Details

Beethoven's Drei (Three) Equali have been arranged for Five Trombones by Jeff Reynolds . This edition features a contrabass trombone on the bottom part of movements 1 & 3.

Drei Equali is a work written for equal, or similar, instruments; in the eighteenth century they were almost always used for funeral services and usually employed a quartet of Trombones. Beethoven wrote these for the Linz Cathedral in Austria on All Soul’s Day in 1812.

These pieces are some of the most famous works for Trombones, no doubt due to the fact that they were composed by Beethoven. They were commissioned by Franz Xaver Glöggl, Kappelmeister of the city of Linz, while Beethoven was visiting his brother.

This edition is one step down from the original and is suitable for moderately advanced performers with the top two parts in tenor clef. Reynolds also adds tuning arrow guides for lesser experienced performers, helping then learn the skill of "just" tuning which is used when performing in ensembles.
