About the book
Arthur Pryor, Sousa's trombone soloist, made his name with The Blue Bells of Scotland: the Scottish air, stated simply in an Andante, then taken through two variations, a cadenza and a Vivace finale, after a flourish of an introduction. It is the showpiece of the cornet-band era, and still the test of a trombonist's tonguing and range.
