Currently revisiting Beelzebub, it's really fun to play. Brushing up on the Hindemith Sonata and Wilder Effie Suite as well. Good luck!

I'm working on the Arutiunian "Concerto" and "Music for Two Big Instruments" by Alex Shapiro. Both are wonderful, challenging works!

I just got these, and I won't be able to play them for a looong time, but : Flight of the Bumblebee, and the Gregson Tuba Concerto

numbnutstubist · Post by **numbnutstubist** » Sun Mar 28, 2004 10:56 pm

Well... Newton Capriccio, Applegate Concerto and Unnacompanied Suite, Mozart and Strauss First Horn Concerto, F. Strauss Nocturno, Barnes Concerto, VW Tuba Concerto, Booker Sonata, and Gregson Concerto. No perticular occasion to keep these pieces worked up, but it's more fun to have more material to work on. Have fun everybody.
