I don't get why people say this song is good, can you please explain why it sounds good to you? To my ears it sounds dissonant and consistently out of balance, and the best parts are when only one of the parts is playing. I'm sure its just something to do with tastes, but I've been recommended this piece multiple times and I feel crazy.

Agree. But, many notable composers in the 20th century composed solo works for tuba. Such composers include Vaughan Williams, Hindemith, Bozza, Arutiunian and Penderecki.

That's when you have to make your own pieces for tuba.

The tuba is such a young intstrument

@@barretthoover2860 I have but then again, who cares about a no body, doesn't hold the same influence as if say Shostakovich made a tuba concerto or something

It used to bother me that other instrumentalist has solos that were memorable little tunes with standard froms whereas the tuba litreaturer was traffic-jamish.

write in where all of the down beats are in the cadenza.

Pay your accompanist

Do you really hate your pianist?

@@benjaminbeam5273 Yup. for my junior recital I took it to someone outside of the uni who knew the piece (to take pressure off of faculty pianists) and I paid upfront!

Actually, he is playing with a C Tuba and in his case it's a B&S.

He used it for another piece.

I used both horns for the recital. I just left it on stage for ease is all.

He is probably playing other pieces that suit a different horn. I always notice famous guitar soloists changing instruments during concerts. (Sometimes they break strings or light them on fire too. 🤡)

Nope, we do the same thing with a lot of other instruments.

I actually would really like to hear this on bass trombone.

@@iang7244 Is that a subliminal message for me to find the music and play it? :D

@@pablobasstb Absolutely.
