Russian Double Bass Album - Double Bass Solos

For the advanced bassist, this set of eight solo bass pieces provides a curated collection of the most beautiful Russian pieces for double bass and piano. Including pieces by Tchaikovsky, Glière, Koussevitzky, and Schillinger, this collection encompasses the period from Late Romanticism to Avant-garde.

It is provided as a two-book package - the main book is the accompanist's book (for piano) which provides the piano part and an upper staff with the soloist's part for reference and rehearsal. The separate, detached inner booklet contains just the "Kontrabass" part (without showing the piano accompaniment part), so the soloist can place it on their own stand, and play their solo with a minimum of page-turning. Both books are included.

A total of 81 pages, this is sure to be an excellent resource to add some stunningly beautiful music to your solo repertoire.
