Which Hindemith?

[Steve Marcus]

If you had a choice of performing on tuba for Mathis der Maler or Symphonic Metamorphosis, which piece would you choose and why (not necessarily that one or the other has a better tuba part, but that could be a consideration)?

[Art Hovey]

How much do you love "Blow the Man Down"?
Mathis always brings Popeye the sailor to mind whenever I hear it.
But there are also some interesting quotes in the Metamorphoses.
-All good fun.
