The Romance for Trombone and Piano was given its premiere at the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen in 1916 in an Orchestral version and with Axel Jørgensen's friend Anton Hansen as soloist. This fully tonal Scandinavian work of charm intelligence and lyricism was well received though the Orchestral parts were destroyed in the bombings of the Second World War. Jørgensen produced this Trombone and Piano version a few years after the premiere and it continues to enjoy performances and recordings today.
