I have been playing around with Beelzebub for over 25 years. I still haven't mastered it but I keep trying. In 1980, I did perform it several times with the Denver COncert Band;
yes, I have the band accompaniment. I've never learned to triple tongue so the 1st variation has to be taken a little slower than it should be. I have found that I can do better on an Eb than a BBb which goes along with Winston Morris' comments in the old
Encyclopedia of Literature for the Tuba. In fact, I think I'll log off my computer and go find my music.
