Harvey Phillips was known as the Paganini of this instrument, which plays a solo following a bassoon ostinato at the beginning of Silvestre Revueltas's symphonic poem Sensemaya. Ralph Vaughan Williams composed an F minor concerto for this instrument, which plays the opening melody in Ravel's orchestrated version of Mussorgsky's "Bydlo." In the late 19th century, it replaced the ophicleide in the standard orchestra. The euphonium is pitched one octave higher than this instrument, whose family includes a version of it that wraps around the player, the sousaphone.
