What are some famous pieces written for the tuba?

Answer 1

In any band or orchestra the Tuba will almost never have the main melody of a song, instead it's used to balance the other instruments. in some cases it is used to keep time. becasue of its extremely low pitch, it makes it harder to learn or play any modern type song.

Answer 2

You can play pretty much anything on a tuba, though you may have to transpose it if it was written for a different instrument. If you're looking for a tuba solo piece for a recital, there's not a lot of music specifically written for this particular situation and you might have better luck finding a Trombone or baritone / euphonium solo piece and transcribing it down an octave.

If you're willing to do a bit more searching than that, you might see if you can dig up a copy of "When Yuba Plays the Rhumba on the Tuba." The Spike Jones arrangement in particular is nice, if you can find it.
