Using youtubA as a tool is tricky.

- I'm a cheap s.o.b., and don't like to pay for stuff, where there is free stuff.
- When I need to learn new pieces ("How often do tuba players play Schubert's 9th Symphony?", as an example), I like to play along with recorded performances.
- Most of the free recordings on youtubA are European, and the tuning is high as a kite.
- Most of the American recordings on youtubA are amateur, and the tuning is everywhere.
- Fifty minutes of either becomes somewhat tedious.



btw...I believe Schubert HATED the tuba and LOVED the cimbasso, because he admired Verdi, and copycatted Verdi about just about everything. (Never mind that Verdi was a kid - 800 miles away from Schubert - when Schubert died, but that shouldn't have anything to do with The Science.)

Joe, I'm confused (as usual). Schubert wrote his 9th Symphony somewhere between 1825 and 1827 (?) He didn't like tubas? Were there any tubas around at that time?

…just nonsense… I was making fun of an old troll thread on the old site.

Schubert was one of the most precient composers of his time. It even effected his anti-tubite bigotry!!

"I’m sure that in 1895, tubas are available at every corner drugstore, but in 1827 they are a little hard to come by."
