“Sunset, originally written as a jazz-style solo for double bass, is inspired by the music of American bassist-composer, Lloyd Goldstein.
Written in ternary form (…A-B-A) starting with a minor third motif that appears twice in several bars of the piece, contrasting the middle section which is played pizzicato, with a few remote chords in the accompaniment, allowing a free execution of the soloist, who returns to the initial music, this time played arco, to finish the piece with a repeated motif in the final phrase.
Sunset was written at the end of 7 July 2020, between the afternoon and evening.” [Luis Guillermo Pérez]
This edition includes piano accompaniments for both solo and orchestral tunings, but the piece can also be played without accompaniment.
Sunset also exists in an edition for double bass and piano.
