Hey Larry,
If you are doing this, get a recording and the part way ahead of time, it's hard.

...and remember that Verdi wanted a contrabass trombone to play the part, not a tuba!

I safely can guarantee you that you will NEVER be asked to play in a staging of the opera, from where the last part of your screen-name was inspired. By the way a funny role, that of Leporello, even if the opera is not that funny at all.schlepporello wrote:Time will tell if I get invited to play with them again or not.

Certainly not at all as a tuba player, where I have no doubts that you fit well into your musical environments.
But the reason, that I could issue a written in stone guarantee, that you never will play tuba in a staging of Don Juan, is extremely simple: Mozart never wrote one note for tuba. And he had very convincing reasons not to do so.
(Whether Verdi ever wrote a single note for tuba is another debate).
Schlep, play, and enjoy!

Only a truck driver would ever consider playing a trombone part!

I happen to know a few trombone players, who also would consider doing so.windshieldbug wrote:Only a truck driver would ever consider playing a trombone part!

Congratulations, Schlep,
You had fun doing something different and made some nice cabbage.
My wife is always willing to go out to dinner at a nice place if I pay for it with giggin' money. It's an extra treat.
If you keep blowing trombone, you may have to start drinking "Blatz" Beer.
