While performing Beelzebub recently, someone asked about the dedication that appears on the top of the music.

"Dedicated to my friend, G. Marquardt, Tuba Solist"

I've played that piece for a long time and I don't know who G. Marquardt is? Obviously a friend of the composer, but who is he/she? Where did they play? Inquiring minds want to know!

I tried google, came up empty on my searches. Tuba source books too.

Anyone know any information on the subject?

Curious...

Well, thank you. I didn't find that in my searches, guess I was looking wrong.

Anyone know more? I feel I need to know!!!!!!!!!

Still one of my favorites to play.
