Description
A version for 2 tubas and 2 euphoniums of my composition "A la Valse"
(which had been written originally for guitar solo available at Les Productions d'Oz).
The effect of setting this waltz for four low brass instruments provides a somewhat comic effect and would make an amusing finale to a concert.
I have marked the difficulty of this piece as "advanced", mainly because of the multiphonics. However, the multiphonics could be missed out if preferred, which would make the difficulty "medium"
The zip file contains score and parts.
The sound sample is an electronic preview (in which the multiphonics are represented by vocal pads))
