THE TUBA IN EUROPE

Rob«rt Tucci Munich State Opera OrchNtra, Munich, West GerMny

Lite in Europe today 1s generally not too d1fferent froII that in the U.S. The arta (1111810 1n p.rt1cul&r), however, has been one 8Z'8& in which people of the various countr1es have lI&1ntained their pecullar identities. Hues like "Bolshoi Ballet", "Concertgebouw", "Bayreuth". or "Ia Sce.la M1lano" 1111!1ed1&tely br1ng thoughts or aea<D:1es of stunning per­:ror:mances 1n a strong nat1C1C18l1stlc flavor. In eutern Europe where other ma.tters oould and perhaps should have priority, gOVerlUll8nts subs1d1lle their cultural institut10ns 1n an unprecedented _er, the C&eok l'h1l.hlmlcln1c Orchestra in Prague and the "KOII1sche Oper" in East Berlln are cmly two eD.IIples.

The biggest d1t.f'erences in playing and tonal CMlIlcepta between orchestras f'rolII such places as Bergen, ~b, or BarcelCll1&, can be heaJ.'d in the lI1nde. Th1a is :particularly Uue as it appliea to the oboe, the horn, or the tuba. The tuba vartes frail. the single Bb or C tenar :round in French orchestras to the giant .BBb contrabass "Ia1aer" tu. used 1n German orches­tras for per.fcraances of Wagner's "Rlng" operas. '!'he choice of 1Ih1ch tuba to use is usually a result of adapting to the nceds of a particular 1lUB1cs1 en~t.

hGerman orchestras a oOlllbinatlon of hlstorioal tactara, tonal. CGlllcepts, type of lltera.­ture, and practical cOnslderations haTe ma.de the basatuba in F the '-aic InstruJDent. When the tuba _ into general use in the 1840's and 1850'a, orchestras 1ftI1'e amall and t,he em­Jlbaa1ll lIM then, as It 111 now, on theatre aM. opera. The taaous nenna l'h1l.ha:naon1c Orohes­tra, for eD.IIple, gives only nine pairs of subecr1ption concerts each year, the IIII.!n lIUI!Iical &Cth1t::r 111 to prarlde llU8ic far: nightly pertor:mances at the nenna State Opera. One can easll::r aee wh::r lII18ic!ans prefer an instrulllent such as the F tuba 1I1th a c'*l*C'f; tone that is rich on lI1d.dle and high overtones to one that aOlUl4a TC:7 la:oe4 and we1ghty when one oonsiders that the .ajOrlty of theatris a.re relatively small (aTIIt'8g1ng arGIUId 1,000 seats), haTe "live" acoustics to favor singers, and that the reJ;letoire includes much operetta and opera requir1.~ a light brass sound (e.g" the popular works of Verdi and Pi1oc1n1, or Strauss' RcsenIra.val1el.").

What about the musio of Riclw:d Wagner, the syJIphon1es of Anton Bzouokner, ar the operas and concert works of Richard SU'auss which require huge orchestras? In the Ger.n concept, the tuba is a brass instrument-not espec1&lly a bass 1nstrument. Excluding the "Ringn

operas, which ldll be treated separately, the app!I'Ciition of the tuba 1n the six other popular Wagner operas (Lohengrin, Tannhaus.., Meisters1nger, The Fl~Dutchman, Tristan and Isolde, and Pa:rBif&l) aesumes the role of a :rourth voice tc the trOll", the bottOlll voice in a horn choir (quite otten in unison with double basses and cellos to add color to a :pISsage), or in sBTeral. instances a solo Toice on a significant ar: exposed part. TbiIJ concept of archestration cont1nues 1n the works of BzoucImer. Although the score invartabl::r calls for a "contrabassn

tuba, the instrument chcsen is usually the F tuba.{ letting the string 'beas section (always excellent· and heavY 1n sound in Gernan orchestras) produce the f'lmdamental necessary for orchestral balance.

Another factar: tc be oonsidered oonoern1ng the chcice of the F tuba in the German orchest.""l!. is the ooncept at hOllogene1ty and tonal richness 111th1n the brass section. The rotary-valve truMpets, with their widely-tapered bells, have a Ilellower IIOUl'Id in comll8r1son to AIIer1can inst:r:1ulents. The trOllbones, though generally not capable of the iDense volume or ca:rry1ng power of their American oounter:parts, are much darker in quality. With mare tonal density 1n the upper voia., a more com:pact, pointed, and pregnant tone is necessary 1n the bass far the brass section to sound vibrant and exciting.

The operas of Wagner's R1z!g of the Nibelung c::rcle pose a va:t'1ation on the classic German concept of tuba. orchcstration. nang with very large string sectiona, Wagner cOlllplel1lented the usual wind sections 1I1th (among other instruments) the bass t:rwapet, the contrabass trOl8-bone, and an entirely new section of instruments called Wagner tubas. These instruments, pitched in Bb and F like French harns and played by horn players, are true tubas in lII1niaturel ~ w1.de tapers and a Bound very powertul and dark in oba1:actar. 'lbe tuba used in these operas 18 the BBb contrabass which plays a dual role I aotirIs as the baaa Toice to the hornB

and Wagner tubes a great part of the tie, and as the bass to the troJabones and trumpets at other times. It is interesting that the composer's prescribed seating arrangeent at Bayreuth has the contrabass tuba in the II1ddle of the row of low brass inatruJients I the Wagner tubas are on the right with the French horns ilBllledia.tely in front of thea, and th6 trombones are on the left with the trumpets in tront of the.. The sound can be overwhelming I

Contrary to German lIusical training which places great emphasis on orchestral work, the French cultivate a highly sophisticated school of solo playing. Considering the nature of the French tuba, this is not too Surprising. Their instruaent is a -tenar" tuba which is very similar in size and sound to the euphonium but incOlporatell the necessary nuaber of 'I8.l.ves to enable production of the low notes. An extensiTe literature ill available in the Paris Consenatory style with difficult technical JlUsages and ranges of 0T8r three octaves being quite COlllllon. The French archestral brass sound is invariably bright with a light, scintilla­ting sound. Again, the ohoice of instrument 111 adjusted to the preferred literature and other nationalistic considerations. Conoerts of French llU8ic ean be quite thrilling though other works inyolving different contexts tend to sufier sOlll81lhat.

Musical act1rtty in Italy, on the other hand, has suffered. 0T8r the years trOll lack of - organized financial.llUppart. Outside of the few professIonal opera and radIo symphony orches­tras found in Italy, )lost other situations are of an 8.111ateur nature. Even the popular lIUllioi­pal bands a,re dilll1nIsh1ng In size and number. '!'here are few good IlUSlc schools left to choose trom. The general IStandard of tuba playing is low, and a single school or approach to the instrullent would be difficult to define. There are competent players, but the future of the instrument lies in the bands of the few young people who are talented and inspired enough to dnelop professional sItuationa. On the positive sids, the top professional orchestras pla.y at a very, high -standard.. -This is dUe to a COlibinaticm of a great national aff1nity with !lUsic, good basic JllUSlcal training, and an open-lBinded attitude tcnr&rd positlTe outsIde influences. Brass playing is brilliant and clear with technical and llUBical precision always strived for. Saall bore BBb tubas are preferred with a shallow IIOUthpiece being used to produce a gutty sound aellowed by a bit of bass quality. Occasionally a player will use a tenor tub!. for the execution of a difficult high passage.

In contrast to continental trends, English orchestral brass playing has gone through grest changes in recent years under an undeniable American influence. With the &host complete integration of Aaer1can lIIIde trumpets and troabcmes into tbe solil1st1cated English style, tuba players have progressed trom F tubas of various sizes to large Eb tubas and aore recently to large CC tubas of domestic and foreign mnuf'acture. The applicatIon of these big sounding instruaents is augmented 111 th smaller ones for solo and small enaeable work ar for the per­formance of high parts. The great variety of literature peft'oraed by English CIl'Chestras is quite deaanding. A new generation of players is active and thr1rtng and very mob 1ri cOlBlllun­ication with the progressive players of other countries. One OlIn count on solid brass playing starting trom the bottOll up anyt1llle an English archestra 111 heard. The English MOW how to handle the tub!.1

Music in other countritls, on the other hand, tend not to haTe a dist1ngu1shed tradition of their own but adapt to patterns and influences troa other ueaa. SpUn and the Benelux countries exhibit a strong French influencs in their orchestras.- GerJall and French influences can be heard in the orchestras of Switzerland. After decades of Austrian and lIIore recently Russ1ai1 influences, it is not surprising to hear fine ausic1an8h1p 1n the orchestras of the Balkan countries. There 115 a pe.ttern of cOJllP8tent tub!. players and an occasional proficient soloist found throughout all of these areas.

European JllUSicians have great Malration and respect for the h1Ih standards cODlllm in Aaer­iean brass playing. They are intensely interested in our teaching and peft'orIIIUlce techniques which the old IIIIIBters who are still active atteapt to abeorb into their own traditional concepts. The European sooiety of tuba players is a sMll one, but there is reaarlaLble cOl\lllUn1cation and a. feel.1ng of brotherhood among thell. I anticipe.te a great future for the tuba in Europel

For any years, 8. lot of t&lk and peMlDllhip has bHn eTident relative to the state of the tuba in the profesSion of Jllll810. lfh1le these 1n41Y14ual etfOll:ta ha.,e been sinoere and well directed, their effectiTeness has been curtailed 'bJ the lack of 1D:oad support and follow through. The a.obievelllents of a few tub1ata aaeng their ooapGIIer-a:ranger Mends are quite nident and need no fUrther ooaent here.

Gratefully a.omowledg1ng the 8ignificant oontributlO118 to eur 11terature by such COllI­

posers as Benson, :Beversdorf, Hartley, l'ersiohetti, Schuller, Vaughan W''''.IIII, Wilder, and others, it is no less than tragio that the tuba player today bas no sonata, conoerto. or other _jar solo repertoire fro-. such twentieth oent:w:) ooapGIIC'1I ..

Even thOlle COllposers who have chosen to offer 1'ragMJIta of 1apartant solo exposure to the tuba in band and orchestra pa:rta have ignored utiliBb« this well deaonstrated 8010 capacity in an extended _jar solo coaposition. lfha.t le«&OY will we tua players of todayle8.ve trn: tuba players of the future?

Far years it has been my purpose to plead, coerce, and ctwrlasion _jar COIIlp08ers to lIrite solo 1Iorks for the tuba. others have shared this purpoae and. we have had varying degrees at success in our indiYidual effOll:ta. ~ 18 the tiM far grOUP effort and 8elected cOJa1Bsion.s frOll specific composers. Such group effort should, of course, supplement - not replace - continued and intensified 1n4ividual effort.
