Ludwig van Beethoven's Drei Equali for Four Trombones were works written for equal, or similar, instruments; in the 18th Century they were almost always used for funeral services and usually employed a quartet of Trombones. The most famous of these were the three he wrote for the Linz Cathedral in Austria on All Soul’s Day 1812.

Mark LaFratta had a brilliant idea of compiling and arranging extracts from the slow movements of three late Beethoven String Quartets and titling them Drei Mehr Equali (Three More Equali) for Four Trombones. They are super beautiful and fit into the equali style of the 18th Century.

They are scored as the original equali for alto trombone, two tenor trombones and bass trombone. These three movements are appropriate for advanced performers and are about 7 1/2 minutes total in length.
