Description

Andante is originally for violin and piano is a beautifully lyrical and characteristic single movement work, composed in the late-romantic style typical of the late 19th and early 20th-century. It is dedicated to Dr Ferdinand Pečírka (1859-1922), a leading doctor and dermatologist of his day, who was also a great lover of music and in the mid-1890s co-founded the Czech Chamber Music Association.

The opening bars of the piece have a strong resemblance to the introduction of ‘Desire’ for double bass and piano, with soaring violin melodies contrasting an inventive and supportive piano accompaniment. It makes effective use of the solo register of the double bass and emphasises its lyrical and sonorous qualities.

This edition includes accompaniments for solo and orchestral tunings.

Andante is also available in an edition for violin and piano

About the Arranger

David Heyes (b.1960) studied double bass with Laurence Gray and Bronwen Naish, later at the Royal College of Music in London, and completed his post-graduate studies in Prague with František Pošta (Principal Bass, Czech Philharmonic Orchestra). He has given recitals and masterclasses in 20 countries over the past few years and has been a juror at a number of international competitions, three times as chairman. David’s collaborative work gained him a prestigious award from the David Walter Charitable Trust of New York for his pioneering activities as a soloist, teacher, publisher, and commissioner of new music for double bass and he works with composers throughout the world to expand the double bass repertoire by commissioning new music and by rediscovering forgotten ones. Since 1983 more than 700 works have been written for him, music from one to twenty basses and from beginner to virtuoso, and he has premiered ten contemporary concertos with orchestra. David began to compose in 2013 and has had music performed and recorded in 29 countries across five continents. He is a D’Addario Performing Artist and has recently commissioned a solo double bass from British master-luthier Martin Penning.
