This lyrical work features the warm singing sound of the trombone, cup-muted throughout, floating over thick harmonies in the piano. With its slow pace and soft dynamic range, Elegy imparts a feeling of stillness and brooding melancholy.
Elegy is a beautiful work that makes an appealing recital piece, especially when a soft lyrical work is needed for contrast.
