Description

Élégie (op.39, No.1) is lyrical and sonorous, contrasting a middle section which has more momentum and energy, before the original theme returns, with its simple but supportive chordal accompaniment. The music is traditional and accessible, typical of much salon music from the end of the 19th-century and exploits the singing qualities of the double bass.

Concert-Ländler (Op.39, No.2) is full of character and style. The different sections, and inventive accompaniments, create interest and momentum, allowing the double bass to play waltz-like melodies and rhythms in the outer sections and sonorous phrases in between.

This edition includes accompaniments for both solo and orchestral accompaniments.

About the Editor

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.
