1847—Leipzig, Germany

Trombonist Moritz Nabich performs David Concertino at the Gewandhaus. The review in Allgemeine musikalischeZeitung says, “Mr. Nabich performed the Ferdinand David Concertino with great skill and a sure attack; however, (he had an) uneasy assignment following Mr. Queisser and he was occasionally flat, probably more out of embarrassment than a deficiency of refined hearing…and his tone was occasionally weak and covered. If he can, in the future, play out with more brilliance and strength, he would probably be on the same level with several [fine] trombonists, but not above any” (Lewis, Gewandhaus).
