Karl Pilss Tuba Sonata
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 5:15 pm
I have heard rumors of Karl Pilss having written a sonata or concertino for Tuba. Any ideas where I may be able to find the music for it?
There is no listing in his work of a solo Tuba piece.
He did write a Sonata for Trumpet and piano Pub: Universal Edition 1935
and a Concerto for Bass Trombone:
