pianocat I now realise that it is a euphonium. Because the instrument appears relatively large in the video I mistakingly thought it was a tuba. Sorry.

Same here, but to make it worse: I didn't even know a euphonium exists. First I thought - "Oh! Language barrier! Maybe this is a more sophisticated term for tuba for the English speakers." For me it looked like a tuba, never payed too much attention how big this thing exactly is.😄

rogerch Compared to last year, some braver choices in interpreting the lead sheet. Keep at it!

keff WWYAMC: another arrangement with outside-the-box harmonies. Was this one to your taste? Silent night: Very pretty arrangement!

WieWaldi Many style elements in common with my two uploads with ties to Dr. John (CC Rider & Beale Street Blues). I can tell you must have worked hard on this one!! Lots of tricky things going on! Great ending!!

pianocat Tubachristmas?? Sounds like fun! Turn up the bass!

I don't mind the harmonies but left hand moves are difficult to make legato without pedal. I chose not to use pedal in my recording.

Same here! What makes it worse: my dad was a professional clarinetist. I have no excuse about not knowing brass instruments. Yet here we are 😃 Thanks for sharing that pianocat, it was both entertaining and educational!

pianocat Nicely done! Your playing sounds delicate and expressive!

Thanks, and don't worry if you've not heard of a euphonium / baritone horn. It's the instrument you get assigned in school when all of the other instruments are taken. 🙂
