World part?
Posted: Fri Oct 09, 2009 11:02 pm
Has anyone ever seen a tuba or trombone part labeled "World Part"? This part is printed in bass clef, but the transposition is off from concert key. I had a trombone friend ask me about a part he had read the previous night in rehearsal. I could only tell him that I have seen parts marked Eb, Bb, and C for tuba, with only the C part in the "correct" key to play with the rest of the group.These were usually on parts from Switzerland, Belgium, or Holland, if that gives a clue. The tuba parts were not labeled with that "World Part" that my friend's trombone part was, though.
Just curious!
