Symphony No. 1 - Brahms

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897), was a German composer of the Romantic era who used trombones sparingly but strategically.

Brahms completed Symphony No. 1 in 1876. The trombone section is used sparingly in Symphony No. 1 but does have quiet but exposed passages in the last two movements.
