Actually, the reason that Ravel scored this solo for tuba is quite simply that the instrument used in France at the time was a six-valved bass saxhorn pitched in C, which is very similar to the euphonium. The standard orchestral tubas in F and CC which are now universal, are much larger instruments. That being the case, most orchestral tuba players will use a euphonium or the bass trombonist will double on euphonium.

Yes true, the single C french tuba was the horn that was designed to play that solo. I would not say most players use a euphonium to play it, a good majority of players still like playing it on F tuba. But there are lazy tuba players who pawn the part off to the associate principal trombonist to play it on euphonium.

Solo originally scored/played by a French C Tenor tuba. One step up from a Bb Euphonium. Soooo, most play on the Euphonium. If you have good chops, you can play on a tuba. Actually quite easy on a F tuba if you have the chops. This tuba player was great. The Chicago Symphony uses a Euphonium. End of Story. KZread Chicago Symphony for Pictures at an Ex.

I am actually a tuba player myself. And you are correct, he is playing an F bass tuba, and a CC contrabass tuba for the rest of the movements. This Bydlo solo was actually written for a bass tuba (either Eb or F) But, some people play it on a Baritone/Euphonium. Personally, I think it sounds better on tuba.

If I’m correct, it was written for the French Tubs in C, a six valved saxhorn a wholestep above the euphonium. The instrument uses a tuba mouthpiece with a euphonium shank. Here is a link to one you can preorder wessex-tubas.com/collections/euphonium-and-baritones/products/french-c-tuba-tc236.

I was lucky enough to play this solo (however on the bass, it was a string orchestra version) and it was amazing

The tuba sounds like an ox lumbering up a track, pulling the cart behind it. Beautifully played.

@LJBSasha You are right! In the others pictures he plays a CC tuba

Hi. Is there a way I can get the full Suite conducted by Gergiev? I want to hear the whole performance.

Yes, the sound is very good indeed - and it's beautifully played!!! However, my understanding is that the French tuba of those days when Ravel lived was a small 8'-C instrument much like an Euphonium, except that it had 6 valves (1 would lower the instrument a perfect-4th, another a perfect-5th) - which is why parts using it in French and Russian music tend towards the higher side, avoiding anything below contrabass-G although it's capable of going down to contrabass-D or D-flat.

"-on my InternationaL Harvesssterrrr!"

@mihanich, you are exactly correct on the movement depicting a trudging ox. In fact, that is why it makes more musical sense to use the timbre of the Tuba on the solo vs the Euphonium. The Euphonium is just too bright in my opinion and in order to capture this scene to the fullest you really need to play it on an Eb Tuba or in the very least an F Tuba. Although I believe that Arnold Jacobs once played this on a C Tuba with the Chicago Symphony.

For the nerds that haven't given as much thought to this as they should, consider this. For CC Tuba, the high note is the G# above 12th partial G. Gonna nail that multiple times without clamming or being hideously out of tune? Maybe. Gonna regret playing that high 4 movements into a 10 movement suite and not even get doubler's pay? Yes.

@draculauploader: I know what you mean - obviously this is taken from a TV broadcast. Traditionally TV sound is loathsome!!! However, it doesn't impede things severely enough to the point of preventing somebody from hearing this exceptional solo-tubist make his mark!! While I personally could have wished for a somewhat slower tempo (not too much, but a bit), this is definitely 5/5 beyond all doubt!! Bravo to Signor Fossi, the rest of the orchestra and Gospodjín Gjérgijev!!

🥰🥰😍😍

it feels like the tubist moves a bit slow off the sixteenth notes in his solo, and his B natural was kind of off, but overall sounds great... we recently played this with a euphonium playing the solo in a band arrangement, and he really moves pretty smoothly in that register...

Normasique.

Wow beautiful solo, Fossi did great!

Look. Gergiev with a baton and not a toothpick

This reminds me of a soap opera. I like it.

its because it IS a french horn!!! no just kidding. I agree though when he can make it sound like a french horn thats awesome. The french horn was my first instrument and my favorite sound in all of the orchestra.

Bravo!

@@mohdhaziqdanish3971 Not at all. The January Uprising was a great movement against Russian imperialism. Russia, along with Germany, and Austria not only partitioned Poland in 1772 (much larger than today), but also enslaved other countries, from Hungary to distant Siberia. People of different convictions fought here, Poles, Italians, French and even Russians who deserted the tsarist army. The January Uprising is another upheaval of people who were murdered, their language, culture and faith were destroyed. As a result, many soldiers were killed or sent to Siberia on foot or in kibitki (closed small prison vagons). This is what Mussorgsky depicted. Although this uprising collapsed, reverence for the veterans created an extraordinary Polish patriotism, which in 1918 allowed many countries to regain independence. As a result, Poles, with the aid of Hungary and other countries, were able to resist Moscow's 1920 plans to conquer the entire world. It was then that one of the most important battles in the history of the whole world took place, the so-called "Miracle on the Vistula".

@mihanich "Bydlo" is cattle. Pretty much. I've heard this movement described as an ox trudging through town. As it draws closer, it's despair becomes all the more apparent and then it passes you and trudges off to the horizon on whatever errand it's being led to do. The painting this is based on is very vague. I don't really see an ox in it but there are lot s of people on an old village street. Interestingly, "Bydlo" is also slang for "common folks" or poor, uneducated people.

Oh, tuba mirum!

EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE AT 00:48 THANKS FOR VIDEO....JITEN PATEL INDIA jzpatelut...

@AMarin: Not bad for an expression in Latin. As an organist, I thought this might be best likened (aside from the volume of the stop I have in mind!) to a "Tuba Mirabilis"!! Another question to you tubists: I remember reading somewhere that the small-C French Tuba is basically an euphonium (construction-wise), only that instead of 3 it has 6 valves (2 of which combine to lower the instrument by a full octave or more). Is that correct? Also, would the lips be too tense if a CC was used?

Im so sad that music like this is dying it so good and makes you feel so emotional based of the sounds and rhythm, and now we have something like rap which is a mix of music and poetry with majority of poetry that is called music even though it basically isnt. While we have this which was thought and made over Months of working on it and people just dont see it because its seen as un cool and un popular and so old. That this musically peace will never be heard in over 30 to 40 of years or the next generation. It sucks to see pop music that use 3 chords and a person who was born good with a good voice get millions and billions of views but this get only a couple of thousands.

This would sound good in a French horn

Sure! In no particular order: violin, viola, cello, bass, clarinet, flute, oboe, bassoon, horn, trumpet, trombone, Tuba, bass drum, timpani, snare drum, harp, Valerie Gergiev (he grunts when he conducts). Same as most any orchestra.

@hectorfprez: 1) the word "tuba" is international - you don't need to think of changing it for any reason. [English is not a language that has much to do with declensions.] 2) Yes, I know about the (6-valve) 8'-C French tuba being what French orchestras used up through the time of World War II - apparently the BB/CC (18'-B-flat/ 16'-C) contrabass-tuba has become (or at least IS becoming) standard world-wide, with the 12'-F being used for high-lying parts. [I'm but a layman in this regard.]

Hello from music lesson. Bchs

YES BEST Byldo indeed !!!! Thanks KUMAR JITENDRA Z. PATEL INDIA jzpatelut...

After the tubist has finished his last solo (after the climax), I really like how that Hornist plays his muted 5 notes - lovely tone quality!! One question regarding the tubist (and I'm not one at all!): apparently people agree that he's using an F bass-tuba. In some of those pictures it seems as if another tuba is next to him sitting on the floor upside-down. Am I correct - and if yes, would that likely be a CC/BBb contrabass-tuba?

@tonydelamont1406

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, that would likely be the big CC tuba he used to play the rest of the program.

Very nice :)

It was actually written for piano... When Ravel arranged it, this solo was written for the six-valved French tuba in C. (a whole-step higher than the modern euphonium) In terms of accuracy, it should be played on that instrument, which is rare and expensive, or a euphonium via the bass trombonist. I, however, prefer it on bass tuba. It's an ox cart for Christ's sake...

A great version of one of my favorite songs... the opening measure seems to be a bit of a train wreck, though.

@ReminiscinginTempo PT16

Guys, yes, he did a very good job on this solo. But all of you saying this is hard, I personally don't think this lies that high for a F tuba. I mean, I can play it on my C tuba perfectly fine, but of course Fossi is much better than I am. It is an amazing solo, but not a very challenging one technically.

@CorvetteCoonass

I think the challenging aspect of this solo is that it's not technical. If the solo were technically challenging it would be much easier to hide your mistakes to an audience. When its drawn out like this, if you make one error even the most musically challenged listener would notice. It would be akin to a guitarist screwing up any of the solos in Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd. Musicians worry about what other musicians think quite too often when it's the audience you have to please.
