Alexandre Guilmant was one of the greatest representatives of the French Romantic organ school, and composed almost exclusively for his instrument. A rare exception is this "Morceau symphonique", written in 1902 for the Paris Conservatoire's annual trombone class competition. The charming piece soon found its way into the repertoire - as did Saint-Saens's "Cavatine" - and is today among the essential standard works of trombone literature. The "Morceau symphonique" is here offered in its first-ever Urtext edition, based on the autograph and the first edition. Also offered here a particularly special treat - the sight-reading piece "Morceau de lecture" that Guilmant wrote for the same competition.
