Gerard Hoffnung may have been first to perform Chopin on tuba, but his tuba quartet arrangement of a Chopin mazurka couldn�t help but coming off as humorous.

On the other hand, if you�re looking for a lyrical solo, WindSong Press has just published my transcription for tuba and piano of Chopin�s Nocturne in E-flat Major, Op. 9, No. 2.

I have performed it on CC tuba, but it may be even better suited for Eb tuba.

I�m most proud of the cover art, which was done by my 16-year-old daughter.

Thanks very much for allowing me to �gush� a little bit.
