Below is what Maximilien Brisson says about his very unique newly-composed baroque-style sonata.

This work was composed in December 2022 for the recording of Scorrete lagrime mie (Passacaille PAS 1153, released on November 1st, 2024), an album of 17th-century Italian vocal and instrumental solo music performed on baroque trombone. The premise of its composition was as follows: despite our instrument being used extensively throughout the 1600s, including in a very soloistic role in sonatas and canzonas for two, three or four instruments, very little actual solo repertoire from that time survives: Francesco Rognoni's Susana d'Orlando (1620), a set of virtuosic diminutions for trombone or violone on Orlando di Lasso's Susanne un jour; Giovanni Martino Cesare's La Hieronyma (1621), a short canzona for solo trombone and continuo; and an anonymous Sonata Trombone solo e Basso from a late-17th-century Czech manuscript, written in a somewhat later musical style.
