tromboni

  1. plural of trombone
    • 1834, Arnold Merrick, transl., Methods of Harmony, Figured Base, and Composition, translation of original by Johann Georg Albrechtsberger, page 303:
      The most convenient and natural order is, perhaps, the following: the upper staff may have the flute-part, because it has the highest notes, and, therefore, requires most room above the staff; then follow the parts for the hautboys, clarinets, horns, bassoons, tromboni, trumpets, and drums; the upper half of the page thus containing the wind-instruments: the lower half belongs to the violins, viola, voices, violoncello, and double base.
    • 1842 August, “Music”, in The Monthly Magazine, volume XCVI, section “The Opera”, page 208:
      The tromboni, trumpets, and ophecleidi carried every thing before them.
    • 1950, Leo Schrade, Monteverdi, Creator of Modern Music, page 260:
      But while the voices have immovable material, the groups of instruments, composing an orchestra of cornetti, viols in various sizes, and tromboni, present a sharp contrast.
