Fellow tubist and long-time friend Tracy Luna is battling cancer, so I decided to compose him a series of get-well etudes. These are free to download, perform, and record. Please consider a donation to support pancreatic cancer research. If performed as a suite, please use the title Convalescence Sketches.
