Product Description

The French Tuba (Saxhorn Basse and later Tuba Français in Ut) was the bass of the low brass section in most french orchestras until around 1977, when the american tubist Mel Culbertson arrived to France and changed their tuba world. When Maurice Ravel made the orchestration of Mussourgsky´s "Pictures at an exhibition", he wrote the famous Bydlo solo for this small instrument, the French Tuba. Nowdays this solo is comonly played on either Euphonium or Bass Tuba.

It is a good thing to have this solo fresh by playing It in public and here is an arrangement that respects the orchestral part of the French Tuba as is but with some little changes in the piano part that makes It very enjoyable and interesting to perform as a part of your recital.

As now the French Tuba is getting available again, I made this arrangement with this original instrument in mind, but It can be played with Euphonium or Bass Tuba as well. There is an extra part in treble clef if needed or prefered.
