My former teacher, Dr. Ed Bahr, was one of the euphoniumists in the Eastman Wind Ensemble when the arrangement was premiered (early-mid 60's). He could and can play at today's fast tempos, and at the time played a Conn Connstellation (smaller American "baritone"). He has played on a Hirsbrunner (large, modern instrument) for 20+ years, though, and can still play plenty fast and with great clarity.
