Summary of This Method
Nouvelle Technique De La Contrebasse - Vol. 4 continues directly from the previous three volumes and offers a particularly comprehensive path to develop a reliable, musical, and lasting double bass technique. Designed for students who have already acquired the fundamentals, this volume is aimed at double bassists wishing to take a step forward by working on precision, ease on the fingerboard, and quality of gesture.
The book is organized into five complementary chapters. The exercises and studies help to anchor essential mechanisms and improve playing consistency. The scales and arpeggios section strengthens intonation, fingerboard knowledge, and fluidity in transitions. The orchestral figures provide a concrete context, ideal for developing reading reflexes and useful ensemble automatism. Finally, the solo double bass pieces offer a musical ground to apply the acquired skills and work on expression.
On the technical level, this volume highlights key points such as different positions, double stops, and the pivot, while paying particular attention to bowing and hand posture, especially at the wrist. François Rabbath's approach, a Paris-based double bassist recognized for his pedagogy, aims to make practice more logical and natural, relying on a global vision of the instrument and movement.
