Hello everyone!
I just wanted to let everyone know that there are some really great new duets for tuba available.
They're some of the best duets I've played and are by a composer named Sanae Kanda. The book is called "Goodies for Two Tubas - Book 1" brand new from LaMi Publications. There are 10 duets in varying styles, each with their own title, challenging and really fantastic!! Can be played for fun, on recitals or to work on ensemble playing.
Just so no one gets the wrong idea, I don't get anything for posting this for Ms. Kanda. She had written two duets for me and they were so good that I suggested she write a book of them. She did, and now it's available! She's also written solo pieces for tuba and euphonium with piano accompaniment.
I highly recommend them!! You can reach Ms. Kanda at skanda(AT)bu.edu for more information.
Here's the list of duets in the book:
1. To The Next
2. Quasi Tango
3. Quasi Blues
4. In C
5. Tune It!
6. Quasi Jazz
7. Simple Waltz
8. Single Line
9. Ancient Dance
10. Mysterioso
