Summary of This Method
With few historically dedicated study books for the double bass, the three-volume series New Technique for the Double Bass has established itself as a major resource for players. This second volume represents an important contribution to double bass teaching and offers a technical path focused on essential fundamentals for progression: scales, arpeggios, bow strokes, as well as a set of exercises and studies designed to consolidate intonation, fluidity, and consistency of playing.
Born in Syria, François Rabbath moved to Paris in 1955 to continue his studies. He then developed a comprehensive activity around the instrument: performance, composition, and transcription of works by other composers for the double bass. This experience directly informs the writing of New Technique for the Double Bass : the method is created by a virtuoso accustomed to solo performance, with a practical vision of the real needs of the double bassist.
This volume is particularly relevant for structuring precise and progressive technical work, emphasizing essential tools for musicality: understanding scale and arpeggio patterns, left hand/right hand coordination, and a variety of bow articulations. Thanks to its instructions in four languages (English, French, German, Spanish), the book is suitable for both self-study and use within lessons, whether in conservatories or specialized teaching.
