NOTATIO

You have an error in your engraving: The last note of the grace note arpeggio is A, not f (natural).

Yes, tubas in different keys do exist, but they are not transposing instruments (again with the exception of British band music). In other words, players learn different fingerings for different instruments. Sometimes older music refers to instruments no longer in use (for example the classical Cont...
