Music Web International review of concert of Mahler 6 with London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Mark Elder. Not so often does a tuba player get picked out for such praise!!!If there was a star of the evening it was the tuba player, Lee Tsarmaklis, whose solos at the beginning of the finale were a real wonder. Perfect slurs, articulation and phrasing.

Just be aware where you play and drain your tuba. In some cold places it won’t go away:David Richoux wrote:I know this is an old thread, but hey - Spit Happens!

Why is the attachment "no longer available?" It was not questionable content, it was designed and published by me, it is tuba related...
edit: nevermind - it is back

Re: Famous Quotes About Tubas
While in a Brass Orchestral rep class, we're reading Mahler 5, we play some FF section and apparently the low brass was not loud enough for the liking of our (bass trombonist) conductor, "NO! that section is why you're here, that section is the entire point to you showing up tonight, again, and louder this time!" So myself, and the freshman bass bone next to me decide to give him what he wants, the conductor's reply this time:
"no, you two have just sent the world of low brass playing back 40 years, never do that again....ever"
"no, you two have just sent the world of low brass playing back 40 years, never do that again....ever"

Re: Famous Quotes About Tubas
A few years ago, I was at a large music store that sells a lot of different models of tubas. I was sitting in a room honking out whatever note (probably trying to play a low low B on a 4 valve Bb, I think) when the salesman comes running in.

Re: Famous Quotes About Tubas
Director: Clarinets, you are marked "piano"! You don't want to be louder than the tubas!
Tuba Player: Hey, if it's a contest, we'll win.
Heard at a community band rehearsal outside of Pittsburgh, PA. (As are others, not really famous, but certainly memorable.)
