Summary of This Book
Designed for beginner double bass players, this collection brings together 16 carefully selected pieces to develop sight-reading, consistency, and expression, while keeping the joy of playing at the forefront. The selection mixes essential repertoire (for example, "The Elephant" from Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals, a "Humoresque" by Dvo?ák, as well as pieces by Tchaikovsky, Mozart, and Vivaldi) with traditional titles such as "Greensleeves" and "Kumbayah."
The included CD is a genuine educational asset: it offers demonstrations to understand the musical intention (phrasing, articulation, breathing through rests), as well as play-along versions to practice with accompaniment and gain rhythmic stability. It is an excellent solution for practicing at home between lessons, preparing for auditions, or varying materials in conservatories.
With its pieces of contrasting character, this book allows the development of essential double bass string techniques: setup, sound quality, string changes, and initial dynamics. The multilingual instructions (English, Deutsch, Français, Nederlands) facilitate its use in many educational contexts.
