Are the parts for "Kopprasch Studies" transposed for the different key tubas but still written in bass clef?

[highsierra]

Yes,

Yes, Russ

Please forgive my ignorance but I'm just an amateur player and in my 50 years have never seen transposed bass clef parts.... only the familiar tenor and C clefs. Is this done to standardize the fingerings? If so... where is the open fundamental? C??

Yes, Russ

Dan,
It's not transposed like Bb trumpet music for band; it's just the same study transposed to keep the fingering patterns the same on different keyed tubas.
The version for C-tuba starts on a C whilst the version for F-tuba starts on an F (ie: 'open') for the first study...
Any of the studies are playable on any keyed tuba obviously =)

I have down loaded and played some of these transcriptions and I think they are a lot of fun. The surprise was to find Saint-Saëns' L'Elephant, from Carnival of the Animals when i played Tuba Ditty. Thanks for the new pieces and for taking the time to share them.
