New Piece- Sonata-Pastoral for Trombone and Piano

[ttf_anonymous]

Hello guys, I am Tal, both a trombonist and a euphoniumist.
I am 17 years old and began playing when 10. When was 13, I began playing on the trombone too. I never grew to be as good on the trombone as I am on the euphonium, but hopefully with time, it would happen.
When I was 15, the lack of compositions for euphonium made me sick, and also forced me to go and play compositions way beyond my level, like Beethoven's op.5 no.2 sonata, Schubert Arpeggione sonata, and later, Prokofiev's op. 119 sonata (etc.)
I could keep playing only cello/bassoon/horn/trombone pieces, but:
1. I felt that the fact the instrument had no original repertoire, was unfair.
2. I was forced to play "original" pieces, which I HATED, HATED, HATED to play.
This lead me to ask my mother, a pianist, to compose a piece for euphonium. She showed some potential, and I felt it, even though she hated to admit it. I asked the piece to be vartiations on a theme by Paganini's "La Campanella" on the same key as Liszt chose, a flat minor. She created a fine piece for the euphonium, which did not get much attention, sadly.
Next, she created another piece, by her own will, for euphonium, named "Ballade" and subtitled "Genius and Fate", which gained much attention.
I next asked her to create sonata for trombone. She did not want to do so because the complexity of the trombone's slide, but she decided to create a 1 movement piece, which is in a free structure. The piece's 1st theme was in 8/8 (sometimes 7/8) and 2nd in 12/8, just a pastoral, so we called the piece "Pastoral", later, after we schemed the structure, we understood it is a sonata in the key of A. My mother, Tamara, did not want to finish the piece because she felt it is too hard for her (trombonefobia), and it was not finished till half a year later November 20th 2015. The piece is beautiful and we recorded it 3 days ago in Bar-Ilan university, Israel.
It is much harder than it seems, both for the trombone and the piano.
Please listen and share, we trombonists don't share a lot of "original" pieces, especially 1 movement sonatas, and have a lack in good repertoire. Every new piece is a blessing.

Have a good day,
Tal Hiskia

If you want it moved to "Music, Concerts and Recordings," (http://tromboneforum.org/index.php/board,5.0.html),
contact BGuttman (http://tromboneforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=722), he is the moderator of that section.

Yes, it is it, thanks you.
Was so focused on trying to move the thread, I totally forgot about it.
