[Trombone-l] Dvorak Symphony No. 9 (NWS)

[jscot@ucalgary.ca]

>I believe that at that time, it was common for one of the string bass
players to double tuba. This would make the scoring seem more sensible.

Jim Scott

 I'm performing this piece with a local orchestra.  The publisher has the
> bass trombone and tuba on the same part.  If I'm reading the part
> correctly, then the tuba only plays on the second movement, and the rest
> is bass trombone, but it's a little ambiguous.  Not that I have any
> problem with the tuba playing in unison, but it just sounds weird from
> what I am used to hearing.  What do you guys think?
