Classical tuba encompasses a range of musical styles and periods, united by the deep, resonant sounds of the tuba as the genre's focal instrument. Pioneers like Øystein Baadsvik have expanded the instrument's versatility beyond its traditional orchestral role, showcasing its capability for intricate solos and melodic lines usually associated with more agile instruments. Artists within this genre often push the boundaries of the tuba's technical and expressive capacity, performing transcriptions of works written for other instruments while also commissioning and performing contemporary pieces that challenge preconceived notions of what the tuba can achieve. The repertoire is rich with dynamic contrasts, lyrical passages, and complex harmonies, as exemplified by performers such as Carol Jantsch and Sérgio Carolino, who blend the grandeur of classical music with the tuba's unique timbre.
