Considering that musical notation was an essential element of the trombone's evolution in 20th century, the main goal of this project is to catalogue specific instrumental techniques of this instrument.Based on relevant practical experiences and exhaustive studies on this matter, this thesis aims to provide ways for the 20th century trombone repertoire to be more approachable to the interpreter. John Cage, Luciano Berio and Iannis Xenakis are undoubtedly three reference composers of this period. Therefore, their pieces for trombone are the core analyzed of this thesis.The method here adopted is based on qualitative and comparative analysis of the content and musical notation of the trombone masterpieces composed by the previously mentioned composers. The new interpretation techniques have a predominant role on this analysis.This thesis aims to understand the contemporaneity of the modern music, searching for common points shared by these three bright composers and demonstrating different ways to interpret their masterpieces for trombone. Although the role of the composer is certainly emphasized here, the interpreter's relevance is also clearly highlighted.
