Well the piece is a CC tuba part. At least when you audition everyone plays the piece on CC tuba. However when you actually get into an orchestra section it does make alot of sense to play the piece on and F tuba.

As far as I know there is only one version of Prelude to Act 1 which is that usually played, although Prelude to Act 3 also occasionally comes up in concert.

I just auditioned on tues on 4/4 cc for orchestra and nailed the high E. That isn't the hard part its the in my opinion the A to B natural trill. Use the Arnold Jacobs slurs in each scale key and gradual work up to the high E or even Higher.

Ummm....hmmm....at PT-30 huh? I can see that being used but that may cause some sacrifice in the "ideal" sound for the peace. I have played it on a PT-44 and the upper register came out fine but I thought that maybe alittle bigger would have worked out better for it.
