[Trombone-l] Nelybel tuba etudes- fictional situation

[Carole Nowicke]

Quoting Dennis Clason <dclason at nmsu.edu>:

> If your husband's picking Nehlybel because he sounds Eastern European,
> he should know that VN emigrated to the US in 1957 and is primarily
> known as a US composer of wind band music.  I wouldn't find it very
> believable that an emigre Russian would use the Nehlybel etudes, nor
> that a British teacher would use them.  This is especially true if the
> action is taking place in the UK.

Not unless the kid had gone to Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp and actually 
run into Nehlybel.  Except for his tuba trio, I associate him with Blue 
Lake and contest pieces!

Carole (remembers the french fries were good, the mosquitos bad and the 
cabins very nasty)
