What was the first symphony to include trombones
"Symphony No. 5 (Ries) Ferdinand Ries wrote the Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Opus 112, in London in 1813. It was the second symphony Ries wrote. It was first performed at a Philharmonic Society concert on 14 February 1814. In 1823, Breitkopf & Härtel published the work together with piano solo, piano duet and chamber arrangements. Scored for flute, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani and strings, the piece is in four movements: Inspired by Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Ries's Fifth uses the rhythm of Beethoven's famous ""Fate"" motif"
"The construction of the trombone changed relatively little between the Baroque and Classical period. The most obvious change was in the bell, slightly more flared. The first use of the trombone as an independent instrument in a symphony was in the Symphony in E (1807) by Swedish composer Joachim Nicolas Eggert. But the composer usually credited with the trombone's introduction into the symphony orchestra was Ludwig van Beethoven in Symphony No. 5 in C minor (1808). Beethoven also used trombones in his Symphony No. 6 in F major (""Pastoral"") and Symphony No. 9 (""Choral""). Trombones were included in compositions, operas,"
"orchestra featuring trombones. His ""Requiem"" mass (1692) uses an orchestra of strings, 3 trombones and basso continuo. A similar ensemble accompanies 8 vocal lines in his ""Lux perpetua"" (c1673), and three more similar works in the 1690s. Monteverdi ushers sackbuts into the first great opera, 'L'Orfeo' 1607. The orchestra at the first performance, as shown in the first publication, the list of ""stromenti"" at the front of the score specifies four trombones, but at one point in Act 3, however, the score calls for five trombones. There is relatively little repertoire for the trombone in the late baroque. Johann Sebastian"
"publication ""Symphoniae sacrae"" (1597) that specifically mentions trombones. The only example currently known is the music by Francesco Corteccia for the Medici wedding 1539. The 17th century brings two pieces of real solo trombone repertoire. Giovanni Martino Cesare wrote ""La Hieronyma,"" (Musikverlag Max Hieber, MH6012) the earliest known piece for accompanied solo trombone. It comes from Cesare's collection ""Musicali Melodie per voci et instrumenti a una, due, tre, quattro, cinque, e sei"" published in Munich 1621 of 28 pieces for a mixture of violins, cornetts, trombone, vocal soloists and organ continuo. The collection also contains ""La Bavara"" for four trombones."

The Organ Symphony contains three movements: a contemplative prelude, a driving scherzo with a ""bluesy"" trio section, and a moderate tempo finale ranging in character from mournful to unrelenting. The work is unusual for a ""symphony"" in that it"

A prolific composer for trombones in Germany in the 17th century was Heinrich Schütz. His ""Fili me, Absalon"" (SWV 269) and ""Attendite, popule meus"" (SWV 270), are both scored for bass voice, four trombones (of which two are optionally violins) and basso continuo, are well known. They are part of his first"

It was better received after a second performance some ten days later. The nineteenth century ultimately admired the work for its ""perceived metaphysical content"", but the symphony's popularity waned in the twentieth, owing to its unusual structure.

"1880s, with the symphonies of Anton Bruckner, Johannes Brahms, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Camille Saint-Saëns, Alexander Borodin, Antonín Dvořák, and César Franck—works which continued to dominate the concert repertory for at least a century. Over the course of the 19th century, composers continued to add to the size of the symphonic orchestra. Around the beginning of the century, a full-scale orchestra would consist of the string section plus pairs of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, trumpets, and lastly a set of timpani. This is, for instance, the scoring used in Beethoven's symphonies numbered 1, 2, 4, 7, and 8. Trombones, which"

In 1807, the Swedish composer Joachim Nicolas Eggert had specified trombones for his Symphony in E major, and examples of earlier symphonies with a part for piccolo abound, including Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 19 in C major, composed in August 1773. In the autograph score (that is, the original version from Beethoven's hand), the third movement contains a repeat mark: when the scherzo and trio sections have both been played through, the performers are directed to return to the very beginning and play these two sections again. Then comes a third rendering of"

Johann Sebastian Bach composed three cantatas (No. 2, 21 & 38) around 1723, where four trombones are required. There is never an exact name for the first trombone part, but it is quite possibly written for a ""Diskant-Posaune"". It was used in German-speaking countries to play the treble part in chorales, and this tradition survives in Moravian trombone choirs. Most probably, the ""Stadt-Pfeiffer"", who were supposed to play all instruments, had no problems in changing sizes of the trombone. Although,"

It consists of four movements: A typical performance lasts approximately 30 minutes. The movements follow the typical structure of Romantic symphonies of the period.

In England, George Frideric Handel includes trombones in three of his oratorios: ""Saul"" (1738), ""Israel in Egypt"" (1738) and ""Samson"" (1741). There are no other documented groups or performances with trombone players in England at this time, and it has been suggested that the premiers took place with a visiting group from Germany, as was the custom in Paris at this time.

In some sections some of these parts are divided even further into separate parts, which are written on the same staff, so that ten staves are still used for a greater number of parts. Unusually, the score omits oboes, English horns, bass clarinets, and trumpets. The bassoons, contrabassoons, and trombones play only in the first movement, and only for a few bars (bassoons and contrabassoons: 339–342 and 362–369; trombones: 343–348 and 367–369).
