Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of learning Schumann's Adagio & Allegro and I'm having some difficulty with the transposition from horn to F tuba. I'm trying to do it without writing it out, but sometimes I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, so I was hoping to get a clearer idea of how to do this, particularly when the horn part goes into bass clef. From my understanding, when the horn is in bass clef, it's actually written an octave lower than sounding, but is that with or without a transposition? Thanks for helping a confused soul out.

Sincerely,

Andy Smith
