When the Principal Trombone muffed it

When I was in high school, I got the chance to hear the the Philadelphia Orchestra perform. At the time it was conducted by Eugene Ormandy and was one of the very best orchestras in the world. Among the pieces they performed was the Brahms Symphony #2. That work finishes with a flair and features important notes by the trombone section. The principal trombonist split two of the notes in that final passage. Rare, for a person in his position.
