That instrumentation of Pictures takes 2 tubas. I might have a fairly good idea about who will play the 2nd, unless the regular tuba wants to play that part.bloke wrote: On November 22rd and 23rd, the Memphis Symphony Orchestra is doing a (fairly rare, I guess) performance of the Gorchakov transcription of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.
The performance on the 22nd is at 8:00 P.M. at the Cannon Center in Memphis, and the performance on the 23rd is at 2:30 P.M. in the Germantown Performing Arts Centre (a suburb of Memphis).
I did that piece 17 years ago. On 4th horn.
