We just got "The Golden Dragon" overture (Karl King) added to our folders last week. It's a very nice piece with several solos for euphonium. Fred Dart introduced the piece to the band by saying that Karl King -- besides being a composer -- was also an accomplished euphonium player. So he often wrote solos for the euph. (who hasn't heard "The Melody Shop").
I site read it pretty well last week... except for the 12/8 section. I have a habit of not subdividing like I should the first time so I didn't play the 16th notes fast enough (triplet feel). In the first solo (Adagio section) I think our part is missing a 'tutti' marking. After 8 measures I think all of the euphs are supposed to play because 12 measures later, it's marked 'solo' again. Anyone know for sure?
