Double Bass Solo Techniques combines the dual function of a technique book and a collection of orchestral excerpts. The techniques are introduced in a logical order, and each is preceded by a short explanatory note, providing technical advice and tips on performance. The repertoire has been carefully selected to showcase the technique in its real musical context, and the pieces cover all major styles and genres. Ideal as preparation for auditions and exams.    Pages: 32Language: EnglishPublisher: Oxford University Press   Contents Mozart: Overture to Le nozze di FigaroSchubert: Symphony No. 8Verdi: AidaMozart: Symphony No. 41 'Jupiter' (excerpt 1)Handel: 'Rejoice Greatly' from MessiahMozart: Symphony No. 39 (excerpt 1)Ravel: Concerto pour la main gaucheWagner: Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg (Act II)Chabrier: EspañaBorodin: Symphony No. 2Debussy: La merBrahms: Variation VI from Variations on a Theme by J.
