| | Directed by the will of the master, the trombones can chant like a choir of priests, threaten, utter gloomy sighs, a mournful lament, or a bright hymn of glory; they can break forth into awe-inspiring cries and awaken the dead or doom the living with their fearful voices." | | | Many teachers believe that the alto clef must be read as the alto clef and not as an interval transposition related to the treble clef. | | | Other teachers believe that transposition by interval is all right at the beginning and that in time the student will naturally and gradually change to the reading of the alto clef as a clef, not as a transposition. |
