I have Bernstein Symphonic Dances from West Side Story coming up and I wonder if anyone could tell me what the tuba part is like, or send me a part for practice purposes?
A couple of other pieces in forthcoming programmes I would also appreciate part/input are:
Copland El Salon Mexico (is there even a tuba part?)
Scriabin Poeme D'Ecstase
Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: Bernstein Symphonic Dances from West Side Story
For the Bernstein:
1. Bring a mute (the oboe will thank you).
2. Don't rush the tuba solo after the "G.P."
3. Look out for accidentals (A# = Bb)!
Have fun!
