In Reply to: Caucasian Sketches.. tuba part??? posted by Matt on November 26, 2003 at 22:29:11:
I played 2nd trombone on this a few years ago. Was my first time playing in an orchestra with someone else playing tuba.. kind of a weird feeling!(on the other half of the program, that tubist played bass trombone and I played tuba!)There is a tuba part, with nothing very interesting in it. As I remember, the most interesting part was playing alternating octave Eb's for a few minutes in the Sardar movement.
There is a really great recording of the Baltimore Symphony doing this work, and it's played on NPR every so often. Worth checking out, if you're after a recording. Good luck!
