Composed in France over a century ago these three short pieces are ideal for the intermediate bassist. The style is lyrical tonal and approachable offering interesting study or concert repertoire with lively supportive and effective accompaniments. Parade is lively and rhythmic remaining in bass clef throughout; Cantabile is melodic and dramatic offering cantabile and musical challenges in equal measure and Menuet Varie has lyrical and rhythmic contrasts and is the most challenging of the three. Ratez was a fairly prolific composer and these pieces were dedicated to M. Charpentier Professor of Double Bass at the Paris Conservatoire. These piecesare popular with students and teachers alike.

It was a chance visit to a second hand bookshop in Nottingham that set me on the trail of Rossini's now well-known Duetto for cello and double bass. But the story begins earlier than that. In the 1960s I was studying the double bass at the Royal College of Music with Adrian Beers who was at that time principal of the English Chamber Orchestra on the front desk of the Philharmonia Orchestra and a member of the Melos Ensemble of London (then one of the leading ensembles of the world). I was working on the 'Dragonetti Concerto' as most young players do and I wanted to find out a bit about it. My teacher said he thought the autograph manuscript might be in the British Library which was all the encouragement I needed to secure a pass to the Reading Room so I could go and see for myself. There sure enough I found a large collection of Dragonetti's autograph manuscripts together with other bound volumes relating to his life. The papers had been lovingly collated and annotated by Vincent Novello one of Dragonetti's closest friends then deposited in the library before his departure to Italy in 1848 two years after Dragonetti's death. One of the volumes included a lot of letters about various engagements and music festivals copies of orders for strings Dragonetti wanted from Italy details about paintings he wanted to buy and numerous invitations to private functions. The manuscript of the 'Dragonetti Concerto' of course wasn't among the papers we now know it to have been written by Edouard Nanny a century or so later. One name that came up regularly in the documents was that of Sir George Smart. Smart had been a violinist in Salomon's orchestra and had played for Haydn at his London concerts in the 1790s. As a child he had learnt much about music from his father who had in turn been present at many of Handel's rehearsals when he was preparing some of his major works for the first time. Smart was also a fine keyboard player becoming organist of the Chapel Royal in 1822. As a conductor

These progressive solos include first and fourth position. Through a variety of styles and articulation the young bassist will experience the rich full sound and rhythmic flexibility which are the characteristics of the bass and define the bassist. Whether being moved by the beauty of the long bow sound in 'Down the Road' or feeling 'in the pocket' playing the jazz swing style of 'Step Right Up ' the young bassist will realize that no other instrument can make the same connection between musician soul and instrument.
