i wonder if any one knows which sritic said that the tuba concerto was "an elaphantine romp, humorous and salty" when it was first performed in 54?
and also does any one know what tuba philip catelinet is playing in the hmv recording?
please help i'm trying to write an essay for college on this concerto! and it's proving tobe quite difficult to find information. things like why doesn't he do the optional high Ab bit in the cadenza of the 1st mvt? and why does he take it mu slower than the reccomened speed at the top of my copy of the score?
i'm very confused!
hope you can help.
thanks. markos
