Do I need a mute for...?

Post by bigwillystyle »

Hey everybody,

I've got some orchestra pieces coming up and I don't have the sheet music yet. I'm traveling so I would rather leave the mute at home, but I don't want to show up without it either. Do any of the following pieces ask for a tuba mute?

Orff - Carmina Burana
Rimsky-Korsakov - Russian Easter Overture
Debussy - Three nocturnes
Bartok - Piano Concerto no. 3

Thanks,
William

Carmina Burina, MAYBE....I've not played the orchestra chart, but something tells me it does. The others, not that I'm aware of.

No mute for Carmina either.

Thanks everybody. I ran this question past some outside sources and have confirmed our suspicions. No mutes on any of these pieces.

Life is better senza sordino anyway.
