[Trombone-l] French solos, test pieces?

[Thomas Ervin]

Most of us older players know (very well) some of the MANY French  
solos for trombone and piano, almost all published by Leduc, which  
were composed almost annually as test pieces for the Paris  
Conservatoire (and sometimes other conservatories). And there is the  
very good book, FRENCH MUSIC FOR LOW BRASS INSTRUMENTS, by Jeff Lemke  
and Mark Thompson (1994, Indiana University Press).

Do any listers know, is that stream of solos still coming, still  
happening, still being composed?  Published?
