Teachers again and again ask for easy-to-play double bass music suitable for lessons or the competition 'Jugend musiziert'. The composer Peter Wittrich from Munich has undertaken this task and composed a varied cycle of seven easy pieces for double bass and piano. All pieces have been tried and tested in double bass lessons and are well positioned on the instrument. Some can even be played in the first position. The collection covers various styles, including blues, tango and classical. The piano part is more demanding so that the demands made on the ensemble playing are somewhat higher. An interesting addition to the repertoire for lessons and concerts. Contents: Giovannino discovers the Blues • Gostly Cadenza • Walking Bass with Johann Sebastian Bach • Salute to Vienna with a kiss on the hand for Elise • Danse grotesque • Drei Chinesen mit dem Kontrabass (Theme and Variations) • Basso doble.

On May 17th (1852) Ramon Carnicer composed the Capriccio for bass with piano accompaniment expressly to be performed at first sight reading by the applicants to obtain a teacher's place of this instrument at The Real Conservatorio de Musica y Declamacion Maria Cristina (nowadays Real Conservatorio Superior de Musica de Madrid). He worked there as a teacher of composition since 1830 until his death.

This revised edition by Jordi Soler keeps the original indications of the bass voice in the script of the piano part.

This edition includes two versions: the orchestral key (D Major) and soloist key (E Major).
