Studies for Bass - Based on the Violin Studies of Franz Wohlfahrt-The goal of Mastering The Bow Part 1 is to help bassists expand their tonal vocabularies: to learn to make a wide variety of colours and shapes with music. The left hand makes no sound; it is the bow that creates articulations rhythms and rises and falls within a phrase. Using the famous Franz Wohlfahrt Studies for Violin as the basis Gaelen McCormick has selected and edited these etudes to teach and reinforce bowing techniques for the bass. Quite simply there is no other book out there for string bass players that addresses bow technique in this manner and Mastering the Bow will greatly enhance the pedagogical repertoire for theinstruction of the bass. All bassists should have this as part of their study materials. For beginning to intermediate players.

Although known primarily for his choral music Humphrey Clucas has written a number of successful works for double bass and his lively and easy going compositional style has been popular with players and teachers alike.

Written in a lively and approachable style there are effective musical and technical challenges within the orchestral register and these would be ideal as both study and concert music. Baroque Suite was premiered by Eloise Riddell during Bass-Fest (2009) at Wells Cathedral School

Revisione di Piermario Murelli. Par BOTTESINI GIOVANNI. Giovanni Bottesini (1821-1889) is certainly the most famous of all double bass virtuosi; his compositions are an essential pillar of the literature on this instrument. His Metodo, published in 1870 by Ricordi, is remarkable for the exceptional beauty of its studies which, with effectiveness, good taste and imagination, develop an extraordinarily modern pedagogical vision. For this reason, on the bicentenary of the composer\'s birth, it seems most opportune to re-propose the studies in the method, appropriately fingered according to the current system, which is different from the one used in Italy in the mid-19th century. These short pieces not only help the student to acquire an excellent technique in a short time, but they are also extremely useful to better understand the instrumental language of Bottesini; in particular the second part, constitutes an excellent propaedeutic base for the study of his famous pieces./ Etude / Contrebasse
