. . .the tuba is not the instrument for sustaining long,
drawn-out ideas, and that what is to be said must be
said quickly. . . .This kind of writing presents a
special challenge to the performer, who must be able to
change mood,*egister, and style quickly and
convincingly.
Syncopated slurred notes, wide leaps, and staccato eighth
notes are the three technical problems which must be mastered
before this movement may be performed properly. The range is
quite high, including many high E's (e, one line E) but it
seldom reaches below the B below the bass clef (E, Great E),
Fig 35 shows the measure during which the development
stops and the subject continues (measure 19) and also the
measure where the recapitulatIon occurs (measure 23).
