Re: Clarinet Institute Tuba Sheet Music Archive?
I got the disk today. It has four categories of works for tuba: solo, duet, quartet and solo with piano. All of the music is in pdf format. After a quick glance, some of it is obviously a quickie transposition but there is a lot of original material for tuba and quite a lot of good quality material.
For example, the both volumes of the Blasevich 70 Studies are here. They are pdf'ed from a Russian (USSR) edition as is the Vasiliev 24 Melodic Studies. Considering the new prices from Robert King, those two books alone make it worth the price.
There are some obvious goofs, outright copyright violations, like the Persichetti Seranade No. 12. Because of that you can't be too sure about the legalities of the rest of the disk but.... whachagonado?
The duets seem almost lame, but I only snuck a glance. Might be something good there. There are about 20 quartets (2e, 2t) of mostly moderate challenge. They all are arranged by David Schorr, who is a clarinetist. Not a knock on the arrangements, just information.
No scores of the arrangements were included, so I can't tell that much.
There are a few gems in the solo section. You'll have to find out about those on your own.
Recommend? The copyright thing bothers me, so no.
Suggest? Yes, I heartily suggest you spend the $12 or so and buy the disk. You'll get your money's worth and more.
