13 Lektionen-The long awaited Sassmannshaus method Early Start on the Double Bass is now here. At last students of the largest instrument in the string family can make use of this tried and tested method for beginners developed by Egon Sassmannshaus for the other string instruments and applied here to the double bass by Holger Sassmannshaus and J. Peter Close. This method will meet the needs of the growing number of young bass students. Early Start on the Double Bass encompasses everything that one would expect from a Sassmannshaus method: an easy start progression at a suitable rate many cross-references to the other string instruments songs and scales in different positions from early on as well as many duets. Lively and colourful illustrations by Charlotte Panowsky complete the edition. For more than three decades “The Sassmannshaus Tradition” has been the household name for excellence in beginner string methods in German-speaking countries. The English editions for violin viola and violoncello which were introduced to the international market in 2008 have proven to be very successful particularly in the United States. Kids to the Bass!While children learning other string instruments can start as early as the age of four the appropriate age to begin the double bass is approximately eight (possibly even six); this allows for a faster progression than on the other string instruments and the method consists of only three volumes. The first volume will be published separately in an English and a German edition; the following two volumes will have German and English text in each book.

Par ROSSINI GIOACHINO. Duetto Per Violoncello E Contrabbasso. Composed in London near the end of 1824, the Duetto is one of the few chamber music works regularly performed today. It is a light and charming composition yet requires experienced performers. The work was often performed in the 19th century by the Double Bass virtuoso Domenico Dragonetti (called ‘Il drago’ or ‘Paganini of the Double Bass’) and we know that Rossini was acquainted with and consulted Dragonetti on matters dealing with the instrument. Bärenreiter’s critical edition is the only currently available publication which is based on Rossini ’s autographand not on the first edition. - Urtext based on the “ Works of Gioachino Rossini”. - First critical edition of the work. - Reference score and separate parts. - With a foreword (Ger/Eng/Ital) and Critical Commentary (Eng)./ Répertoire / Violoncelle ou Contrebasse
