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.

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.
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.

TUBA mirum
(for tenor trombone):
Forgot about that one. Have since discovered that daddy Leopold wrote a trombone concerto. I guess Wolfie didn't think much of the instrument.

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

Guess there's just no Haydn from Mozart ...
