Another Galliard option for state contests, this Sonata only contains 4 movements, packed with running sixteenth notes. This Keith Brown arrangement is written in tenor clef, while other editions may be in bass clef. The first movement can seem intimidating with the written 32nd and 64th notes. Rest assured the slow “Largo” can easily place these fast notes at a slower tempo with the eighth notes receiving the primary beat. The second movement contains many sixteenth-note passages that will easily push the soloist to perform with light but quick articulations. The range of the trombone is also showcased as the Brown edition C2. Oftentimes the 3 and 4th movements are combined into one movement. Each organization’s list has different requirements for how many movements should be performed at the contest.
