"Trombone's a bad idea ... it's a foul brass instrument for starters and Beethoven only ever used them twice (Sym 5 and Sym 9) and certainly never in his chamber music."

It would take a staggeringly good trombonist to play this music effectively, that's for sure.

But, oddly enough, Beethoven did write chamber music for trombone: the Equali for trombone quartet.

Not sure whether diz is saying: "it's a brass instrument, and brass instruments are foul" or "among all brass instruments, it's one of the foul ones". Either way, he must have heard me playing.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.

To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.
