The third volume moves students toward more advanced playing techniques and literature. This text continues to develop playing skills found in Book 2 and advances the student through more rigorous and lengthy literature. Instrument-specific selections promote performance, reinforcing shifting skills, more advanced bowing techniques, and complex and multiple-meter pieces. The book contains solo literature that: enables the student to use higher positions with suggested fingerings; features accidentals that challenge left-hand intonation; utilizes more complex time signatures, multiple-meters, and challenging rhythmic patterns; and develops the bow stroke to perform more expressive dynamics and musicianship. Digital audio available.

LAMEN T was originally composed in 1999 for solo piano, in memory of Judith Arron, whose visionary goals for Carnegie Hall were matched by her abilities to achieve them. The performance challenges in LAMENT are musical rather than technical: finding and projecting the line from beginning to end; using rubato for expressive and formal purposes; shaping phrases; achieving variety of color; and employing these dimensions to create a spontaneous and personal rendering. Two piano parts are included to provide for solo tuning as well as concert pitch performance.

Teac hers 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.

â??This is a composition in one movement, about 12 minutes long. I named it '...into the light' because its texure, placed mostly in the low or middle range of the instruments, is coming at the end to the most ethereal and luminous sounds of their registers. The premiere took place on 12st of May [2018] in Tbilisi, played by Javad Javadzade [double bass] and his wife Adel Javadzade (piano).â? Dmitri Smirnov.
