| Abstract | This book serves the need for an authoritative guide to the euphonium and tuba for students, teachers, and professional performers. The content and presentation of the book as applied to the wind instruments is clearly stated. Detailed discussion includes considerations for all levels of performance. Appendices include study materials recommended for beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. They also present a pictorial history of the evolution and development of the tuba/euphonium family and a selected list of outstanding artists who represent our heritage. This is a valuable addition to existing books on brass instruments and is an indispensable guide to artistic, technical, and practical aspects of the tuba and euphonium for both teachers and players. |
