any specipic etude?

[Todd S. Malicoate]

How about playing contrasting orchestral excerpts instead? Seems to work well for folks on this side of the Atlantic.

Or, for a challenging technical etude, look at the characteristic studies in the back of the Arban book. Good stuff. Pick your favorite key center.

I'm working on recording an audition CD for undergrad schools because i live in Israel and dont have the money to go and audition to every school i want to look at.

At the moment, my teacher have told me to think about what i want to pley and record while the minimum requirements are something like :
1 Solo literature
2 Contrasting etudes
2 Orchestral Excerpts

I've decided on

Hindemith Sonate
Varaitions on olden style - Thomas stevens
Plau Concerto

Etudes not decided yet

Also Sparch Zharathustra
Die Mistersinger
and probably one more havent decided yet what it is maybe romeo and juliet

Grigoriev has some really good technical and lyrical etudes. I like this book, because a lot of the etudes have very orchestral type qualities.

I'm of the opinion that Hindemith isn't really a good solo piece for tapes, unless of course it's required. There just isn't enough to really show your stuff as a tubist.

Seconds to Kopprasch. The Characteristic Studies may or may not be good to show off your technic, if you can't do them clean and fast.

[NDSPTuba]

Kopprasch 14 is one of my favorites. But as stated earlier, if you can't play them at speed and cleanly, pick something else.

I happen to also like the Grigoriev. But you can't go wrong with some Blazhevich

Oh, and the Vasiliev book also has some cool little things in there.

Although I'm sure everybody is correct in assuming by 2 contrasting etudes, they mean a legato and a technical etude, in the college I teach at, 2 contrasting etudes means, 1 classical and 1 jazz. Go figure!

That's pretty cool....hopefully I don't make that mistake someday when I'm supposed play a funky bass line, and instead come in with a Bach Cello Suite.......

Could it be one etude with two contrasting sections?

If so, I highly recommend the last etude in the Rochut book 1. First section is Largo, g minor, pretty lyrical; second section is Presto G major. If you take the second section in one, it's pretty demanding.

One of my favorite Bordogni etudes.
