This weekend I participated in my orchestra's chamber music series, and performed Franz Strauss Nocturno Op. 7 with Channing Yu accompanying. It was a fantastic event, and I appreciated hearing my colleagues make some music. We all had a moment prior to performing to discuss our musical choices, and I focused on the lack of true romantic music featuring the solo tuba before the 20th century. The audience seemed delighted. Please enjoy.

This. Well done, Ben.bloke wrote:..............Ben easily demonstrates the capabilities of creating the sonority (and intonation) to pull it off, whereas a large percentage of bombastic and range-sporting "bonafide tuba literature" seems to be designed to (if needed...??) cloak a lack of these.
Is this a commercially-available arrangement?
For those not familiar, Franz Strauss was Richard's father. It does sound something like Richard.
Again- nice job.
