Any recommendation on which version of Monti's Csardas to buy. I've found atleast three different versions.

I really like the Walter Hilgers arrangement. It's in one flat, and the range is managable for me (goes from about a low C to D above the staff, I believe) but there's an optional 8va in the last round of the "velocity" section, as Jake puts it. It lies really well on a CC, and I'd assume on an F as well, because of the key.

I'll second the Hilgers... it does work well on F tuba. Most of the fast stuff is in the F-c (4th line F- middle C) area where it can all be played with simple valve combinations (010101).Charlie Goodman wrote:I really like the Walter Hilgers arrangement.

Then there's this one - comes in white or red.
It's not bad, not great, fairly inexpensive. It is from Hungary. I was traveling in Canada last summer and saw it, so I had to buy it. Got back to the hotel and turned on the TV and was flipping through the channels, found a performing arts channel and what was on? Why none other than a violinist playing Monti's Csardas. I gave the bottle to my teacher, this was just before she headed off to last year's ITEC.
On a recent trip to Germany I bought a bottle (white) to try. As I said, not bad, not great. My Brother-in-law, who we were visiting, said that CSardas is the proper Hungarian spelling, there is no cz in the Hungarian language. He theorized that it is spelled czardas (incorrectly) because the english language has a hard enough time with cz (Poles, Czechs and Slovaks), to than deal with cs (Hungarian), so everying is converted to cz for our convenience.

While searching the web for tuba versions, I found some were spelled with a cs and others with a cz.Philip Jensen wrote:He theorized that it is spelled czardas (incorrectly) because the english language has a hard enough time with cz (Poles, Czechs and Slovaks), to than deal with cs (Hungarian), so everying is converted to cz for our convenience.
