Description
A Sad Fantasy in Memory of Eli Goren, subtitled Duettino III, is an amazingly inventive and evocative addition to the advanced duo repertoire and was composed in 2001. The two basses play almost entirely independently of each other, creating a rhapsodic freedom and soundscape which will be unique at each performance. It is an inspired and exotic fantasy with an amazing panoply of sounds and textures. Teppo Hauta-aho has written a wealth of duets for double bass, many published by Recital Music, and is a past master at writing music which offers far more than simply technical prowess. “Teppo’s bass duets are worth a second, third and fourth look. His music inhabits a sound world completely different to everyone else and he has followed his own and unique compositional path throughout his career. These are impressive and inventive duets which are in a direct line to the grand duets of Bottesini.” [David Heyes]

About the Composer

Teppo Hauta-aho (1941-2001) was the most prolific composer in the history of the double bass and composed for every ability level, from the beginner to the virtuoso. His music is evocative and atmospheric, shaped by jazz and contemporary styles, and the influence of the dramatic and bleak landscapes and vistas of his native Finland are captured throughout his engaging and accessible music.
