Wanted: Bordogni 5 in alternate (band) key sig.

[Three Valves]

In the 43 Studies version it is in ## but I remember seeing and having it in a b key signature.

If you know where it is, can you let me know where to acquire or PM me a .pdf?

I thought for sure it was in one of my collections.

I wonder if it was in a Woofruff 24 or another volume I sold off?

Perhaps the following might assist Three Valves.

Etude number 5 in the “43 Bel Canto Studies” compiled and edited by Chester Roberts is in D major, and seems to match what you describe.

Number 6 in the well-know Joanne Rochut collection of the Bordogni “Melodious Etudes for Trombone, vol I” is the same vocalise and is in E-flat major. (For tuba, read down one 8ve.)

I will check my version tomorrow of the Wes Jacobs edition—should be in the same key for tuba as the trombone Rochut edition.

Chester Roberts changed quite a bit from the originals. I never understood why

Dr Green has identified the best source: the Wesley Jacobs edition "Guilio Marco Bordogni Complete Vocalises for Tuba." Encore Music Publishers, 2006.

Etude number 6, page 10.

Were you ever a piano player? D & B-flat are in the same position in the clef when you switch to treble.

Piano player?

I’m barely a tuba player!
