In Book 2 we progress from the first position up and beyond the half, second and third positions to reach the second high position. Shifting is also obviously treated in detail. New bowing techniques such as spiccato and col legno are on the program, as well as typical double-bass parts from orchestral works of famous composers and information concerning the instrument. This runs like a red thread through every chapter. In addition, students can indulge in jazz bass playing through their first jazz standards.Kontrabass Book 2 offers a wealth of material for the progressing young bassist. Although the text is in German, most of the technical requirements are easy to understand.

The serenade flourished in Mozart's era, but with Brahms the genre experienced a new surge in popularity in the 19th century. Dvorák's cheerful and relaxed op. 22 came into being in 1875, during a very happy time for him both professionally and privately. Heput his personal stamp on the five-movement composition by incorporating stylized Slavonic dances. The spirited finale captivates by restating themes from the previous movements. Since its premiere in 1876 the work, with its melodic richness and particular harmonic modulations, has enjoyed great acclaim from audiences and critics alike. Today it is among Dvorák's most popular and most frequently performed compositions. As well as the autograph and printed editions, the composer's copy of the printed score with autograph corrections and additions has been consulted for Henle's Urtext edition.

(Double Bass!) has an exclamation mark in its title, for Thomas Schlink's method begins from scratch, i.e. it requires no practical knowledge of the instrument. The Kontrabass! concept is so broad that all teachers can proceed from their own playing techniques and methods, and can teach them without difficulty. In Book 1, the student goes from plucked and bowed playing on open strings to the first position. In order to let the student interact with others from the very start, the book often includes an accompanying part for bass, piano or melody instrument.
