The solo follows a theme-and-variations format, with choice elements such as a cadenza, a march section, and a furious finale. Enjoy a sample performance on YouTube. Peacock has created a new band version of Beelzebub with tuba solo, giving the big horn the opportunity to step out front. Performance materials available on rental.
