[Trombone-l] Berlioz' Harold in Italy

[Dick Sleeman]

Dear listmates,

We are going to play "Harold in Italy". Now I cannot seem to find a tuba player
and there IS a bass trombonist available. Could the tuba part be played on a
bass trombone? I mean, technically it is possible, but Berlioz probably meant
the part being played by a serpent or an ophicleïde. So a tuba might even be
'too big' and a bass trombone might work. What do you think?
