Roman Carnival Overture — euphonium excerpt

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The excerpt must move with the overture’s brilliance, but extra weight quickly makes the euphonium line sound late. Short, resonant articulation and exact subdivision are more useful than force.

Practice with the full score and with several reference tempos. The part’s function changes rapidly, so a player must know which figures project and which fit inside the larger texture.
