Rachmaninoff Vocalise Opus 34, No. 14, Arrangement for Tuba

Does anyone know what the original key this was written for and is there another version written for tuba?

This is the Winston Morris edition.

Wikipedia and Imslp are your friends!

The incipit on Wikipedia shows shows E minor. However on Imslp it lists c# minor. FWIW, I heard a tubist play the Alan Raph trombone transcription (Because that was what the library held).

Caveat: The arrangement and transcription list on Wikipedia is far from complete.

Um, that might be E Minor. As in, definitely.

Oups, My bad. Although one could really question if the opening to this piece actually is sounds "Minor" per se. It looks modal. But you are correct, I should have looked at the whole piece, not just the opening 2 bars.

Actually, it was originally written in C sharp minor, as may be seen in the scanned pdf on IMSLP, which is from a printed total collection of Rachmaninov's songs.

If I remember correctly, the Virginia Allen transcription is written in the enharmonic D flat minor.

C minor. I just received my copy last week.

When I played it on my senior recital I used a setting from a collection of solos for double bass that I borrowed from my brother. I think it might have been a Gary Karr collection.
