Description

A Little Suite for Hertl by Christopher Field includes six colourful and engaging miniatures for the intermediate bassist. Primarily in bass clef, with a few …short forays into low thumb position, these are inventive and accessible pieces which offer musical and technical challenges in equal measure, alongside inventive and supportive piano accompaniments. The pieces can be played as a suite or singly. “With sideways glances in the direction of Dvořák’s Slavonic Dances and ever popular Humoresque, these miniatures are dedicated to the memory of another great Czech musician, František Hertl, and his own set of Miniatures for double bass.” [Christopher Field]
