Johannes Brahms (1833-97) was a Romantic German composer and virtuoso pianist, who maintained a classical sense of form in his works. He composed for piano, organ, orchestra, chamber ensemble, voice and chorus. This Brahms waltz has been arranged from the original piano score and presented to be played by the solo tuba player. It presents a melodic scalic study and an effective sight-reading exercise, whilst providing a great model for developing upper and lower registers.
