The Torchinsky book has the 1911 version. The 1947 version is the one that is an octave lower. It also has a concert performance ending of 9 bars on a low F#. The 1911 version is tacet throughout the last movement. The 1947 seems much more fun. The BBC Scottish Symphony performed it at the Proms last year. Chris McShane sounded ENORMOUS.the elephant wrote:I cannot remember which version we just played. It was a rental and the very fast 5/8 lick was in the lower octave. It is the slightly more difficult version for tuba that is not in the Torchinsky book.
Here ia a YouTube clip starting with the Bear...literally.
