Volume 1 begins with open strings and basic notation, rhythms, and bowing skills. New notes, notation, and bowing skills are added in logical progression, reinforcing both right- and left-hand technique and developing the cognition for string performance. This book introduces students to: the basic major and minor tetrachords on all four strings; essential rhythmic notation from whole notes through eighth-note patterns; left-hand techniques such as easily played double stops, left-hand pizzicato, differentiating whole and half steps; and a variety of bow techniques. Audio available online.

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.

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.
