Fantasies for the Double Bass

Description

Nicholas Recuber’s transcription of Georg Philipp Telemann’s Fantasies for Double Bass promises to bridge the gap between the famous double bass sonatas by Marcello and Telemann and the cello suites of J.S. Bach. With this edition, modern bassists can enjoy a beautiful new addition to the instrument’s repertoire with plenty of room for interpretation. Inspired by Nobuko Imai’s recorded performance. Recuber left passages that can be played in multiple positions or strings unmarked, with his interpretations noted only where he felt strongly about tone or color. The Telemann Fantasies for Double Bass are an important and enjoyable addition to the double- bass repertoire. The polyphonic texture and expressive melodies make these pieces a satisfying challenge for any bassist. My goal in making this edition was to give the modern bassist something to bridge the gap between the double bass sonatas by Marcello and Telemann and the cello suites of J. S. Bach.  Product Details ISBN: 9781491146279 UPC: 680160903771 Width: 9″ Length: 12″ Page Count: 12 Pages
