I'm thinking of putting together a collection of orchestral excerpts (just for my own use) to work on with a bass trombonist. One example that comes to mind is the tricky 9/8 section in the first movement of Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony.

What excerpts would you include?

Okay, I obviously was not clear enough with my original question.

I have the Cherry CD and a lot of other orchestral excerpts for tuba and bass trombone. In fact, I have so many that I'm having difficulty deciding which to select for a series of practice sessions.

What I'm looking for are suggestions, on say a dozen specific excerpts, to include in some practice sessions with a bass trombonist.

Ride of Valkyries!!
Berlioz Romeo and Juliet
Pictures at an Exhibition
Entrance of the Gods into Valhalla
Anything else Wagner
Hungarian March
Fountains of Rome
Symphonic Metamorphosis

I wish our bass bonist could play any of this.....

Kodály: Háry-János Suite

Yes, I have the Bruckner excerpts and many of the other suggestions already on my list. I really like playing the beginning of the finale of Bruckner 8 with the entire low brass section.
