Composed by Max Warnecke. Arranged by Ronald Babcock. German 19th Century. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2780).

Max Warnecke's Konzertstuck is characteristic of the nineteenth-century solo Trombone tradition. At six minutes in duration, it is considerably shorter than contemporary solos of the time such as the Grafe Concerto. Like the David Concertino it uses similar martial-style opening and closing themes with a lyrical middle section. The solo and piano accompaniment are of medium difficulty and appropriate for school recitals or professional performances.
