Quick links. Logout Register. History of legato playing on the trombone Post by bcschipper Β» Mon Apr 15, am What do we know about the history of legato playing on the trombone? Paul Weschke β must have been of the greatest trombone virtuoso at the first half the 20th century. B, C, D, for example.
I learned from him to play the note and then suppress the air stream very briefly while moving the slide very quickly. This is not what one usually hears today, where the slurs are all "pushed"? No legato tongue when slurring, only if there were dots or dashes over the notes.
Where real slurs are required, one suppresses the air column for a hundredth of a second while quickly shifting the slide, so that no smear is audible. He would not tolerate smeariness. It had to be perfect, which you can only master through practice. That is how Weschke taught it. In what sense, would a modern trained trombonist who buys a modern copy of a baroque trombone be able to play historically correct legato? Even during the romantic era, one of the first known trombone virtuoso, Carl Traugott Queisser, was mainly a viola player.
