Description:
In Memoriam is a work full of depth and expressiveness by Swiss composer Jean-François Michel, dedicated to the famous trombonist Branimir Slokar. Written for trombone and piano, this composition is characterized by its contemplative nature and great emotional intensity. The dialogue between the two instruments reveals the full richness of sound and expressive power of the trombone. The melodic lines—at times contemplative, at times passionate—convey remembrance, reflection, and tribute. The piano accompanies and carries the musical progression with elegance, creating an atmosphere of calm and dignity. The composition particularly highlights the lyrical qualities of the solo instrument while maintaining a balanced interplay between the two partners. With a sincere and direct musical language, the composer invites the listener to a moment of contemplation. At the same time, the work reflects Jean-François Michel’s appreciation for Branimir Slokar’s artistry and personality. In Memoriam thus represents a remarkable contribution to the contemporary repertoire for trombone and piano.
