Performance Notes: 

The piece is written in F minor and F major to symbolize the "F" Tuba the Lyle played. The opening section should be serious in nature then the Allegro section from "F" to the end should be jovial and bright. This Allegro theme is an adaptation of two Sinfonia tunes from the fraternity songbook. There are two versions of the solo part with one a bit more challenging. The cadenza is ad lib as much or as little as the performer wants.

Performance Level:  Grade 3
