The Carl Nielsen Fantasy Pieces originally for oboe and piano keep me interested beyond the transcription for various low brass soloists. To facilitate the teaching situation for teachers not able to play the piano part, I have started changing the piano score to a part for a contrabass tuba. The Romance has been finished, but I cannot reduce the 2 first pages enough in file size to get them uploaded. Therefor only the 3rd page of the playing score may be seen in a low resolution version here.
I am interested in players/teachers testing the playability of the contrabass tuba part. Duet testing would be very welcome. Please contact me via the email button to the right of this posting.

Klaus,
This looks interesting, and I look forward to trying it when I get a chance.
I printed out the page, but it is hard to read. May I respectfully suggest using a larger font and saving it as a PDF file?

Hi Art
My work files are in Finale, and by principle I do not give Finale files away but maybe for some templates. My output always is .pdf files created in Adobe Acrobat.
Only when I want to present teasers here on TubeNet I have to convert the high resolution .pdf’s to .jpg’s, which I in turn have to dilute to get them below the 256K limit (and then I don’t always succeed in doing so)-
It is not a matter of font size, but of the percentage of the basis font. If I printed to large format pages, I probably would use 100%, but most private persons only print to Letter or to A4 if in metric countries. There I normally use 80% or 75%. The sample above here was in 75%. I have changed that to 78%. 80% would give a very bad page-economy with one staff less on the page.
78% gives 16 staff-sets with the last one on page 4. Not ideal, as 3 pages on a music stand normally is the maximum acceptable. The playing score is sort of mandatory in this case as the teacher shall be able to read the solo part along with the comp part.
Working on the last movement.

Here's a similar thing that I did a few years ago:

Your post inspired me to figure out a cost-free way to share such files. I do not consider myself to be a professional arranger, and do not expect to make any money from such projects. Everybody is welcome to share this chart with any students who might be ready for it.
