Man has pondered this question for thousands of years, quaffing millions of beverages while pondering.

I (actually) just now practiced (yep...me...bloke) for an hour.
oh...and not "Bordogni #3" sandbagging. I'm actually (yes really) somewhat tired.

bloke "who - when ~true~ practicing occurs - actually digs in,works on things that are not currently quite within reach"

2. repeated exercise in or performance of an activity or skill so as to acquire or maintain proficiency in it.

Please do not attempt to summon the Noid without considering the consequences!!

Why would "who" win? They're not even in the question!

Well I'm killing time reading what tuba players I've never met but am still strangely fond of, have to blather about.

I often wonder the inverse; What Aren’t We Doing Here?...

They are *much* more musical when you ditch the metronome and just allow your technique to dictate time for you. And I am getting a World Class Sound™ right now, too, which is always amazing.

Are you playing them three octaves down, where they should have been written?

Wow, you are ten times the tuba player I am.

If the unit of beat is not a Q then I do all the math needed to make that etude Q = 208. I am about to buy a metronome kit that will allow me to build a metronome with infinite tempo. It uses an Infinite Probability Drive. Once my tempo is set, I can play all etudes on all horns nearly simultaneously. I will never know where I am going or even what species I will be when I get there. Metronomes that only go to 208 are too limiting. And I am ten times the tuba player of anyone, ever.

Here is your problem. You should never play these with a metronome. Using a metronome is non-musical. You are not, after all, ten times the player that I am.

I am so sorry that you are sorrier than I am sorry. Please accept my apology for being less sorry that you are sorry.
