Re: Shostakovitch 5 Tuba Part
Be aware that, since this was published in 1937, this is not in the public domain: It is under copyright for the next 10 years or so. I would suggest getting this as excerpts, available legally.christiantaylor wrote:I want to start learning Shostakovitch 5 just for fun.

Re: Shostakovitch 5 Tuba Part
As mentioned above, this work is still under copyright.
Also, if you haven't played this before, you may be disappointed in the tuba part. There are a couple of nice licks for the tuba; but most of the low brass fun is for trombones only. Watch these:
All-Star Orchestra with Chris Olka
2014 Southeast Trombone Symposium with Andrew Miller
And, here are some excerpts: https://www.nyo.org.uk/media/W1siZiIsIj ... 960c12e964

Re: Shostakovitch 5 Tuba Part
I bought a tuba excerpt book in Berlin about 10 years ago, which has excerpts of this in it... not the full part, but just the fun licks. Kind of nice that way, actually, no need to waste the space/ink on a bunch of whole note D's...

Gordon Cherry’s stuff was limited to publications before 1923 that are in the public domain. It was always electronic only.Doc wrote:It's a shame better excerpt books aren't available today. The Torchinsky books aren't around. I had them all, but foolishly sold them. There was another... Cherry??? I don't remember, but I don't see anything in print these days. Of course, I'm not looking for any either.
The Torchinsky books for Shostakovich include complete parts, and finding someone willing to sell their copy is the only way to get them.
