Dear Kristian:
We would love to help you find them and give you as
many as we can but that is quite a large task. I do
not know how old you are, where you live and at what
level you are playing so I can suggest this:
Go to the closest professional orchestra and set up
lessons with the tubist. You will not only learn all
the solos, you will also learn the much more fun and
all important "non-solo's" of the tuba players orchestra
music. This also gives you the advantage of not only
learning the solo but how it fits in with the rest of
the piece.
Have fun -
Michael (no relation to Kenny) G.
P.S. For what it is worth, Shostokovich's 13th Symphony -
last movement, close to the end....HUGE TUBA SOLO!
