Desire is originally for double bass (or violoncello) and piano and emphasises the lyrical and sonorous possibilities of the double bass throughout its solo register. …The music is stylish and charming, with an old-fashioned elegance which was typical of the salon at the end of the 19th-century.
Desire is a stand-alone piece, lasting around three minutes and is ideal for any recital or audience, and could be partnered with Canzonetta by the same composer.
“Desire is somewhat more challenging technically than Canzonetta, but is also based on a simple, lyric melody. There are a few trills and moving semiquaver arpeggios, but nothing that a little practice couldn’t take care of. The folk character and catchy tune make practising these pieces a joy.” (ISB Magazine).
This edition includes piano accompaniments for both solo and orchestral tunings. There are two alternative endings and solo and piano accompaniments are included.
