This weekend just gone I played Elgar Howarths transcription of Pictures at
an Exhibition.  One movement, the Old Castle, is written in 5 sharps for the
Tuba 1 part.  As a brass bander I generally transpose by reading the bass
clef part as treble clef and adding 3 sharps.  A colleague and fellow list
member has explained that this is G sharp major - every note sharpened and a
double f sharp.  Not the sort of key I'd like to play in very often.
Incidently this just happens to be a tuba solo movement!!

Phil.
