the French tuba thread

Since we tend to troll each other when a tread immediately goes off on some nutty tangent (and I'm the least innocent), here's a thread whereby everyone can stick to the topic of "French tubas".

to your supposition:
Historical documentation demonstrates that Revel (though Italian) was actually more of a German tuba advocate.

numpy.ravel() in Python*
The numpy.ravel() functions returns contiguous flattened array(1D array with all the input-array elements and with the same type as it).
So with one simple function, you can turn this,
into this.
Perhaps this reveals what Ravel really thought about tubas.
*A programming language for the non-nerds here. Real pythons generally don’t bother flattening tubas.

I have a few French words in mind with this statement.

I slept on it (not literally...actually my cat, Covid-the-cat, slept on ME), and have decided that I really don't need to be owning all of these different contraptions, whereby my
B-flat French tuba can be my one/do-anything tuba...
...so all of these other gadgets/contraptions/etc. are FOR SALE !!!

Around that C - which is one, two, and four - it's a little dicey.

yeah...
That's a great French tuba-carrying car.
re: the (stuffy) excerpt...
Prokofiev (with a bit of touring mixed in) dwelt in Paris (perhaps fleeing the newly-formed Soviet Union) from the early 1920s into the early 1930's, did eventually return to the Soviet Union around 1935, but I believe that French tuba apologists would point out that a decade of French tuba influence would define that the Soviet-composed
Ромео и Джульетта should probably be played with a French tuba.

I just went back with an edit and posted the excerpt.
Most will not get the yoke.
What if some are taking this crap seriously...?!?
This could EASILY become a footnote reference in someone's paper...

You looked right past the expression marking ( жирный шрифт ).

I had to get Google to translate. I guess you followed the marking.

' interesting how the Bolsheviks convinced Russian composers that it was a really good idea to relocate in Paris, eh?
Now that the Bolsheviks have taken over my own country, I am continuously reminded of a couple of lines from a speech given by the first President for whom I myself bothered to vote.
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness...
Sadly, [1] he was primaried out four years earlier (when younger and more vigorous), or I would have voted for him then, and [2] - a month after being elected - he was shot, and - thus - not a particularly energetic/effective presidency.
