ummm... as a trombone player i must say trombone can be very viruosic like those large interval leaps, double toungues, lip slurs and lip trills and mostly the human-voice like tone quality
I'm myself a french horn player and because of the similarity, I agree and totally understand ; trombone seems hard but sounds very well 😍 Winds team 😁
I read what text I put for trombone, I see what you mean, in all this video I explain rather the point of view of the composer, who chooses one instrument for particular qualities, in a search of the accurate sound, harmony, expression... It's why I wrote that trombone is rather chosen for slow and languid themes. But I don't deny the virtuosity of that instrument I truly like ! It is simply for teaching reasons ÷)
