Upon getting the call to play this piece
(contra-bass tuba part) with the Dallas Symphony in the early
1970s, the first thing I did
was buy a complete score, and before the first rehearsal, I had
listened to recordings, while following the score, enough times to
feel prepared for that first run-through. I found this simple step
to be an enormous help in preparing to perform this complex and
intricate piece of music for the first time.
It would also be helpful to work with your tenor tuba player to nail
down phrasing and articulation prior to rehearsal.
Enjoy !!
