[Trombone-l] Trom-BOOM

[Eric Edwards]

Hi Bill,  your assumption is correct,  there are no muted parts in the 1812.

I've been fortunate enough to have played it several times.
Always a fun piece to play.

Thanks
Eric

What's always fascinated me about this story is that no one seems to
mention that it isn't a muted part anyway.  I've never played 1812 or
seen the trombone parts, but I'm pretty sure that the section at the end
with the cannon is not muted.  That was the first thought in my head the
first time I heard the story.  The Myth Busters episode with a segment
on this tale is entertaining, if you get a chance to catch it.  Having
spent so many years trying to protect my trombones, I've always found it
therapeutic to see them destroyed willingly.
