Benedetto Marcello, Sonata in F, tuba solo 

There is something about tuba trills that just cracks me up. It makes think of an elephant in a tutu.

Wow, this is such a musical performance! I'm playing the piano part for this, and I never loved the piece so much until now.

oh man this takes me back. I played a slightly different arrangement of this piece for my All-State auditions. nailed it! I still love this song...

Amazing sound and musicianship. Congratulations!

This is the best recording I've heard of this. Great job.

Played a different arrangement of this for state solo and ensemble this year and funny thing my judge was the one who arranged it

preparing this for college audition repertoire. love it.

I love your sound im a euphonium player but i play tuba on the side and i tried playing this i love this piece so much on tuba or euphonium

Bravo!!!

i played this as a solo for solo and ensemble last year...i was a sophomore and first chair of my section

Cacchio.....complimenti davvero! Un giorno o l'altro verrò a lezione da te...

Great job, your sound reminds me a lot of my own. keep on playing

@tubazimm first step: try to produce the best sound you can every note second: listen to other performers, also different instruments, to create your own musical ideas of this piece All the best

awesomeeeeeeee

l'ho suonata anch'io ed è bellissima!!!!!

Yea? well the spirit of competition isn't about flattening opponents, it's about reaching new levels of greatness with them.

I fell in love with this piece! I just ordered the music right now! :D I don't want to sound like a douche or anything but I really feel that I could put a lot of my heart and soul into playing this piece! I'll be using this piece as my solo for my Marine Corps Band audition!

It is buatiful !!!

Well I played this solo for solo and ensemble to and got a 1 and I'm first chair of my section and I'm a Freshman, But we can be first chair together, Anyone else is welcome to join as WE ARE 1 SECTION! GO TUBAS'!

a lot of practice with the mouthpiece, this is what I did....and still doing:-)

I have to play the trombone version on euphonium for my all state, all southern, and county audition later this year and im nervous cause there are so many great euphonium players auditioning

Baroque music with the tuba surprises ! But so well played, it does'nt shock.

I had the same problem at first. A lot of practice helped mine.

Yes it is, EVERYTHING in life is a competition.

I'm playing this on a BBb tuba and the trills sound like shit.

My teacher was like what do u want to do as your next jury and i saw this and he was like ok have fun haha

GREAT sound! So warm. You "hug" the audience with your sound, not punch them. Any tips on how to get a Beautiful tone like you?

Hi im in eight grade playing this for talent show any tips.

As a tuba player myself i think this is really good! I've only played 7.5y so im not that good but i've tryed this part and i can say that the part between 1.53 and 3.04 is a tricky one xP(also i think I got the wrong notes on that part xD) But anyhow i love this clip and all the other musicians playing this ( i don't have the nervs to do it and it wouldnt be as good as these guys xP) But i do really love this // skuml23 a swedish Tuba player

@TubaCarlos for a higher range you want make sure you have a good sound and when it stars getting rough work on making that note as strong as you can move to the next it realy works

Practice the fast passagges very slowly, and think how a cello player would sound like, as it is the instrument for which this piece was written

Had the same problem, have you tried alternate fingerings for some of them? Also, I've heard some recordings where the trills were completely committed. Try and check some of those out.

Can someone tell me how to find these sheet notes ?

What arrangement is this?

Does anyone know what version he is playing? I like this version much better than the Nelson and Little arrangement and I reeeeeeally would like to play this one!

класс......я её на тромбоне играю

1:52

maestro ma nella parte un pò piú "spedita" diciamo, usa il doppio staccato o quello semplice?

you must be an all-state tuba player..

I did use the alternate fingerings, still sounded like crap. Oh well, I'm done with it now.

@stylemotional Then you should hear a BBb tuba trill. Kinda like a blue whale spazzing in the ocean.

I hated trilling that G to F in the second part of the first movement.

use flow charts with lip slurs and lots of pedal tones

No, no trombone.

Este chico suena muy bien pero le farta abrir mas darle profundidad a esas nota esa gordura que le aria k la gente se quitara el sombrero y mejorar un poco los graves ya que los agudos son envidiables

Thanks for trying to brag so much. Music isn't a competition you know.
