The Tuba Concerto in F minor by the British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams dates from 1954.〔(Bevan, Clifford: "Tuba (i)", Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 7 August 2006). )〕 Vaughan Williams wrote the concerto for Philip Catelinet,〔(An account of the composition and first performance of the concerto, by Clifford Bevan. )〕 principal tubist of the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO), and Catelinet was the soloist in the premiere on 13 June 1954, with Sir John Barbirolli conducting. Catelinet was also the soloist in the work's first recording made that same year, again with Barbirolli and the LSO.〔Hussey, Dyneley, "The Musician's Gramophone" (October 1956). ''The Musical Times'', 97 (1364): pp. 524-526.〕 ==Composition and history== While at first viewed as the eccentric idea of an aging composer, the concerto soon became one of Vaughan Williams' most popular works, and an essential part of the tuba repertoire for professionals. The work is in three movements: #Prelude: ''Allegro moderato'' #Romanza: ''Andante sostenuto'' #Finale - Rondo alla tedesca: ''Allegro'' A performance commonly takes about 13 minutes. Apart from the solo tuba, the piece is scored for two flutes (2nd doubling on piccolo), oboe, 2 clarinets (in B♭), bassoon, 2 horns (in F), 2 trumpets (in B♭), 2 trombones, timpani, triangle, side drum, bass drum, cymbals, and strings. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tuba Concerto (Vaughan Williams)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
