Solo Literature Suggestions

[jp23]

I am looking to expand my solo library, preferably intermediate to advanced tuba literature. Suggestions?

[TubaNerd88]

Here are some that you could look into buying:

- Sonata for Tuba and Piano by Paul Hindemith
- Concerto for Tuba or Bass Trombone by Eric Ewazen
- Concertino for Tuba by Eugene Bozza
- Tuba Concerto by James Woodward
- Concerto for Tuba and Orchestra by John Williams
- Tuba Concerto by Martin Ellerby
- Concerto for Bass Tuba by Ralph Vaughan Williams

These are just a few. Most of those pieces are standard, but there are hundreds upon thousands of solo tuba repertoire. Hope this helps!

To be filled with pieces when my brain is back intact (no comments from the peanut gallery)....

[Alonsotuba]

I would also recommend getting the Tuba Concerto by Edward Gregson. It may not be as popular and well-known as the Ralph Vaughan Williams Concerto, but it is still a great solo piece and enjoyable to play.

Three Minatures - Plog
Encounters II - Kraft
Sonata/Concerto - Broughton
Concerto - York


Lots of new solos with recordings found here:

"Chant" and "The Kraken's One Day is as Another" were performed at the recent SWRTEC. There are full recordings of each on the site.

Concerto in One Movement- A. Lebedev (always Fun)

I played a solo this year and it was a lot of fun, "Introduction and Dance" by Barat.
