...that European players that use F as their primary instrument are looking for the tuba to be a bass voice to the brass section, and not a massive foundation for the entire orchestra. Much of German/European romantic literature is written with this in mind. Late Wagner, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, some Bruckner, etc. is a different matter.
