Have Fun with the Double Bass is a unique publication that adds joy and variety to learning the instrument. It includes many songs that children will be familiar with and can sing along to, thus making practising easier and more fun. Gerd Reinke has paid great attention to detail as he covers the essential basic skills for a budding double-bass player such as rhythmic exercises, posture and technical terms. The short exercises can be accompanied by the teacher on the double-bass or the piano and make the players curious about many more 'bass-related' journeys of discovery. May the young bassists do well and enjoy this method! Univ. Prof. Christine Hoock Universitat Mozarteum Salzburg.

Born in Oxford in 1917, Francis Baines was a well-known and much respected professional double bass player. He studied at the Royal College of Music in London with Claude Hobday, where he later taught. Something of an eccentric,he immersed himself in early music at a time when few people were taking it seriously. He owned a beautiful Amati bass that he had restored as a violone, which it probably was originally, and he was a regular fixture as aprincipal player in a number of orchestras and ensembles that dedicated themselves to period performing, including those directed by Denys Darlow, with whom he broadcast and recorded frequently.Besides playing thedoublebass, Francis Baines was an exponent of the treble viol and led the Jaye Consort of Viols which he founded. He also played several kinds of bagpipe and the hurdy-gurdy. As a composer he dabbled in many styles, one of hisgreatest claims to fame being that of writing for the popular Hoffnung concerts in the 1960s. He was the author of a number of papers about the history of the double bass, sometimes arriving at scholarly conclusionsthat were colourful, if not always entirely accurate. He discovered the Giovannino del Violone sonatas, subsequently published by Yorke Edition, although today it is thought that they were probably not written for a 16' pitchinstrument at all. His edition of the Capuzzi double bass concerto, published by Boosey & Hawkes, was for many years one of the few solo works available for the instrument. This, however, he largely re-composed because hethought it could be improved: towards the end of his life he confessed that with hindsight he probably should have treated it differently.Grounds was written in 1969 as a sort of party piece and was given to YorkeEdition in support of a drive to enlarge the repertoire for the instrument in a wide variety of styles. It was set on the syllabus of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music for many years.Francis Baines died.

Giovanni Bottesini ranks as one of the most famous Double Bass virtuosi ever to have lived. His Metodo Completo Per Contrabbasso or Method For Double Bass appeared in print between 1860 and 1970 in French, Italian and English. The value of Bottesini's method lies in the gradual progression from simple exercises and rhythms in easy keys, to virtuoso studies that use advance bowing techniques and require a thorough knowledge of the instrument.

Preface: The emphasis of the present etudes is on systematic exercises for the left hand. The lower positions demanded above all in orchestral playing, and the accompanying physical effort required, are consciously employed here in many variants and offer outstanding practice material. At the beginning, a slow, constant tempo should be paramount, the tempo then being increased with theaid of a metronome. I recommend these etudes as daily exercises for double bass players of all proficiency levels. Klaus Trumpf (Professor emeritus at the Colleges of Music in Berlin, Saarbrucken, and Munich).
