What are some good tuba excerpts available on IMSLP?

Post by UrbaneScorpion »

I've been looking through the database recently and have played through some Wagner overtures. The amount of scores on there is a bit overwhelming and I want to know if anybody here knows of some really good pieces. Thanks.

what's a good excerpt? Someone told me the one's you do not like or enjoy are the one's you need to work on.

I meant something that is fairly exciting and challenging to play. (not whole notes, pretty much)

I don't have any excerpts I should be working on , just want something to practice for a break from the usual 4 or 5 concertos I play through daily.

Many of these are on IMSLP, many are more substantial than whole notes. It is a good place to start.

And from 2.35 you may experience brass bass intellectualism when it gets really profound:
