Programme notes: In the exciting world of musical instruments, there is one group of individuals whose moods are as unique as the sound of their instruments: trombonists. From their reputation as the "clowns of the orchestra" to their unpredictable mood swings, here's a humorous insight into the life and whims of this fascinating species. Anyone who has ever tried to communicate with a trombonist will know that patience is a virtue. Most trombonists have their own unique way of conveying their messages. While other musicians accept simple instructions like "Play softly" or "Faster!", trombonists seem to speak a secret language. "Make it sound like a turtle is travelling around the world in a hot air balloon," they are often heard muttering. But it is not only their language that is idiosyncratic, but also their behaviour. It is not uncommon to observe a trombonist performing like an acrobat during a rehearsal. They tend to juggle and balance their instruments in every conceivable way. There are even rumours of trombonists standing on one leg or doing handstands during a solo. One could almost think they are trying to impress the conductor and consolidate their dominant position in the orchestra. Another remarkable peculiarity of the trombonists is their love of food. In the breaks between rehearsals and concerts, they are often the first to pounce on the buffet. They don't seem to care that their instruments are still in their hands and that an unfortunate violin is attacked by the force of a trombone fork. It is a real joy to watch a trombonist balancing his instrument with one hand and devouring a sandwich with the other. Not to be forgotten, of course, are the temperamental mood swings of trombonists. Some claim that they have the ability to go from sky-high to death-defying in a matter of seconds. There are stories about trombonists who burst into tears during a concert because they are so moved by the sound of their own notes. And then there are those who go into a fit of rage at a wrong note, which is frightening. It is truly an emotional up and down. Despite all their moods, however, trombonists are also lovely and talented musicians. When they are not thinking of their instrument as an extension of their body or making their fellow musicians laugh with their spontaneous jokes, they produce truly wonderful sounds. Their contribution to musical diversity is undeniable. Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI)
