I certainly can't comment on stylistic or compositional aspects of it - out of my league, and I actually liked it very much. Reminds me somewhat of trombonist Christian Lindberg's rendition of the Šulek Sonata: Vox Gabrieli.

I can comment trombonistically, and must say it all looks to lay quite well on the horn. Quite a challenging part, but nothing impossible! Bits like the 16ths in m102 etc, seem especially well placed on the instrument. Beware of large interval leaps - especially ones you want smooth, and quiet (m11, m142). They can be tricky and would require a skilled performer...

A couple notational points:

m97 - why the sudden switch to treble clef? The A is only a half step away from the G#'s preceding it; the switch seems (to me) more confusing than it's worth. Personally, I'd prefer to see it written in bass clef. See also m142.

m132 - assuming this is an error, in the piano part, I think the measure would benefit from a bass clef before beat 2.

m151 - Just a personal thing, odd accidentals (double #'s etc) are cumbersome to read. If you want, spell it differently...if not, no big deal.

...
I like the piece a lot - would love to hear it performed live.
