Tchaik 1st trombone parts are written for tenor, as are nearly
everything after Brahms. The clefs, as time went on, do NOT always
indicate choice of instrument, nor do the names on the part, which
were sometimes supplied by the publisher (example Bruckner symphonies
- 1st parts are labled "alto", but unplayable on alto.)

Hey, that's a GREAT article!
I defer to Ken's obvious knowledge, research and academic rigour on the
subject. Thanks for helping clear it up. Your Bruckner example is very
illuminating.
