Does anyone know if there is an arrangement out there? I'm getting tired of starting stuff and finding out it's already been done.
Thanks

Well, I hate to bring bad news, but I think you will find that a version for tuba has already been recorded on Kansas City Dances. Steven Seward was the tubist of note on the recording.

Maybe he has a version published....

Best of luck!

Thomas Wyss has arranged the finale from the Mendlehlson violing concerto for Tuba / Piano it was available in the Thomas Wyss solo collection ( 5 or 6 pieces) am sure it was published by Kirklees music. try your local music supplier or just music in scotland they might be able to get hold of it.

Why arrange?

Most of you able to play difficult stuff like violin concertos will play CC tubas, will be highly educated, and will know â€œtrumpet fingeringsâ€
