Sommario/riassunto

This book, the first in the American Wind Band series, is a comprehensive account of the development of the trombone, from its initial form as a 14th-century Medieval trumpet to its alterations in the 15th century; from its marginalized use in a particular Renaissance ensemble to its acceptance in various kinds of artistic and popular music in the 19th and 20th centuries. The book is fully illustrated with more than 80 images and includes an appendix of transcriptions of selected primary source documents with translations and a comprehensive bibliography.
