Gregson Concerto
Casterede Sonatine
Koetsier Concertino
Jager Concerto
Wilder Effie Suite
Adagio from The Limpid Stream
Love all of the above for how tunefull and audience pleasing they can be, and they are also a big challenge to flexability and tone and such.
Haddad Suite
Frakenpohl Concertino
Sibbing Sonata
Strauss Nocturne Opus 7
Love these three for the ease of play, but the Haddad is like the "heart and soul" of the tuba world. Everybody thinks that they've gotta play it.
Stevens Journey
Tubafolia
Fleming Concerto
John and Vaughan Williams Concerto
I like these pieces for their mix of musicality with cerebral complexity, however I really can't say that I like to play them. I'm still only a mere mortal, and these pieces were pretty much written for the Gods of their day.
That's all for now. I'm shure that I've missed something, I'm doing this on the fly.
Take care everybody,
Tubajake
