250 years old and still kickin' - after a fashion.
What would Mozart have written for tuba if tubas existed back then??? Sounds like a topic for a thesis or dissertation.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WOLFIE !!

Maybe nothing. Did he write for trombone or serpent (certainly available in one form or another back then)? My wife was commenting how little use Mozart made of flutes in his wind ensemble works.Alex F wrote:250 years old and still kickin' - after a fashion.

Maybe not a good season for tuba players, but some great entertainment nonetheless. My wife and I are going to a birthday concert tonight directed by David Ogden Stiers.

Forgot about that one. Have since discovered that daddy Leopold wrote a trombone concerto. I guess Wolfie didn't think much of the instrument.LV wrote:As for trombone? Yep, on EVERY audition list... TUBA mirum(for tenor trombone):

Not WFMT, but the BBC, where the announcer was gushing that "the music of Mozart can be heard everywhere this day in the streets of Salzburg."Alex F wrote:Our local classical music station, WFMT, has, in conjunction with XM, WQXR, and some other partners, has been broadcasting live from Salzburg all day.

In the background, you could just make out one of the London Trios.
Mozart, Haydn--eh, close enough...
