In 2007 one of the first group of publications from Horn Notes Edition was Playing the Wagner Tuba. A great instrument!
My first opportunities to perform on the Wagner tuba came with the Rochester Philharmonic when I was a MM student, on Bruckner 7 and 8. It is a topic all advanced horn players need to be familiar with, and the video below offers a brief introduction to the topic. (Direct link here). And [UPDATE] check this article out for more general information on the instrument.
Transposed Wagner tuba parts for Bruckner 7? We have those and more
The hard copy book has been a steady seller, but one where periodically I get an urgent E-mail from a hornist hoping to get the files of transposed parts for Bruckner 7 contained in the book for an upcoming performance.
I included in the publication parts in the original notation and transposed for a popular selection from Gotterdammerung, complete parts for Bruckner 7, and also extended selections from the Alpine Symphony of Strauss.
Thus, with this video I am pleased to note that I also now have made available Playing the Wagner Tuba as an E-book, available at Hornnotes.com. I believe it is actually an ideal format for a book of this type. And [UPDATE] it’s now on Amazon in print or as a Kindle book, search for it there.
And from the video itself you will note that we have a new YouTube channel, HornmattersTV. With this channel we have a wide variety of video ideas for the future, be checking back as they roll out over time.
UPDATE: We did not do many more videos, but the book is available (2018) in a new edition in print and Kindle versions.
