What is Euphonium?

The offspring of bugle, like Mellophone, is Euphonium one of the larger members of the tube of the Brass Family Family. Other members of the TUBA group are baritone, somaphone and tube itself. But this was not always the case. From the 1980s to the 1960s, a double euphonium with double driving was made to try to capture the attributes of both thrombone and Euphonia in one tool. In some of these hybrids, both bells are in favor of upright and forward. In the other, one bell shows and one point forward. Both tools are in BB and have a similar range. Both are commonly used in the bands, but rarely orchestral music and each instrument is often replaced by others. In fact, there was some confusion about composers' intentions about which instrument should be played, both due to the frequency of substitution, and because the euphone is also called tenor tube in English and is known as baritone in German and Baritono in Italian.

Yet baritone and euphonium differ in some important ways. Among other things, the number of valves - Euphonium usually has four, while baritone has three - variations in the well and the bell are the main differences, which is the result that the sound of baritone is "clearer", while the sound of the second tool is described as "darker". The difference in the number of valves means that the fingering is also different. In addition, there is a Number from brass quartets that specify two corner, corner or alt corner and euphonium.

Also, perhaps related to the difference in sound, there are more orchestral repertoire for Euphonium, although in some cases it is more of a traditional substitution rather than the original designation of the composer. Today, the instrument is characterized by a solo in "Residential" in Maurice Ravel's arrangement of modest images Musorgs at the exhibition , "Mars" in Gustav Holst's Work Planets Don Quixote . Allen Hlaness's dran. Some pieces that have been clearly written for this tool include a number of HAVERGAL Brian guns.
