Dvorak Carnival Overture Tuba Part Urgent!!

Arthur plays tuba · Post by **Arthur plays tuba** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 12:17 pm

I have to play for a school orchestra in a fund-raising concert next week, and Dvorak's Carnival Overture is one of the repertoire. However I was informed that the tuba part was missing and I need to find it myself or to double the bass trombone. Does anyone here has a copy of this tuba part and willing to scan and email it for me? My email address is arthurmakyf@gmail.com.
Thanks for your help.

Check your email.
Someone from the TubeNet sent me a missing trombone part from the same piece a couple of years ago. The trombonist was so grateful that he bought the Cherry Classics CD. (The orchestra had tried to purchase the actual printed part, but received the wrong one just days before the concert.)

It's actually a pretty tasty part.Even though the original has no tuba part and some purists won't play it.Or so I've heard...

I don't understand that comment? A tuba is listed in the orchestration in Daniels' and the part is on the Cherry CD

Carnival Overture by Antonin Dvorak has a tuba part. It's in the score and anywhere else you care to look.

Agreed. This does have a genuine tuba part.

You are thinking of the New World Symphony. Story goes that Dvorak is conducting rehearsals with the Pittsburgh Symphony, tuba player gets bored and poaches a few notes from the bass bone in the 3rd mov't, Dvorak likes it, and the rest is history.

La Gazza Ladra is a cool part, too. Plus, it's a whole lot easier on tuba!

La Gazza Radra also has a tuba part.

The New World Symphony has a tuba part, too--it's only the sustained noted at the beginning and end of the "Largo" movement. I have seen a couple of orchestras have their tuba player play an ad lib part for that piece in the areas most of us thought that Dvorak should've put a tuba part. But it didn't help much!

Since the orchestral version is in A, you would be the butt of the viola joke:

"What is the difference between the Principal Viola and the last stand viola?"

"About a step"

Thank You, you've been great, I'd like to Thank God and don't forget to tip your waitress, see ya' next time.....
