I see you slyly omitted the obvious answer.
French + tuba = French tuba. Simple.

I've played it on bass trombone and tuba. It sounds better on tuba.
For contrast, the Ewazen Concerto sounds better on bass trombone.

Re: Henri Tomasi - Être, ou ne pas être - POLL
Nooo: I make the distinction because just voting for "tuba" in your poll encourages the macho he-men who think it's perfectly fine to play French repertoire on a 6/4 Blast-o-phone which is twice the length and many times the internal volume of the instrument for which these parts were written.bloke wrote:the "French" tuba promoter openly admitting that "French tuba" is NOT "tuba"...?? ...so all of the other widely-varying shapes and sizes of tubas are TUBAS but a FRENCH tuba, really doesn't fit in the category (choice #1, above) of "tuba"...??UncleBeer wrote:I see you slyly omitted the obvious answer.

Re: Henri Tomasi - Être, ou ne pas être - POLL
I did it with trombone accompaniment on a Rudy 5/4 years ago - worked better than you'd think.
Did it more recently on my 182 - it was much better.
I would love to hear it on a French C tuba because it was so markedly better on the little F than it was on the big CC. The Rudy couldn't get as bright as some sections needed. The 182 fixed that to a great extent while still allowing a darker sound when necessary.

Admit it, Bloke: you started a push poll.

I heard Gene Pokorny play it live on the York CC. He sounded amazing!!
