My aunt reported on her attendance of this week's Philadelphia Orchestra concert: "Saw/heard a big tuba part today in HK Gruber's Charivari. Know it?"
From a recording by the BBC Symphony, it sounds like the fairly busy and very prominent tuba part goes from Eb above the staff down to F 4 ledger lines below the staff. At one point about 2/3 through the piece, the tuba may have a low Eb in octaves with the bass trombone. But I haven't seen a score.
There is a 1:24 YouTube video excerpt of the Philadelphia Orchestra playing this composition. Carol Jantsch appears to be playing her CC. No doubt she did a splendid job with this piece.
Who has played this piece? What can you share about your experience?
