Hanlon: Buchrückentext
It is a great honor and privilege for the International Trombone Association (ITA) to be involved in the translation of Ihre Majestät, die Posaune: Eine Entdeckungsreise into English: Her Majesty the Trombone: A Journey of Discovery by Karlheinz Weber.
The German-language edition of this book is in its third edition, a sure indicator of its informative and interesting content. Now the English-speaking denizens of the world will be able to share and enjoy the historical adventure that Herr Weber has created in his work.
It should be especially noted that Mr. Weber has both excellent research and writing skills to which he brings an intimate knowledge of the trombone and its literature through his many years as a symphonic trombonist. The details that he brings forth in this volume have the casualness and ease of someone who speaks from great experience both as a performer and as a scholar.
This is a book that every serious trombonist should own and read.
