Description

Le Départ, originally for cello and piano, was first published in 1920 by Joseph Williams Limited (Great Portland Street, London), a year after the composer’…s death. Typical of the salon and characteristic music of the early 20th-century, the piece is lyrical and accessible, transcribing well for the double bass and is ideal for the intermediate bassist. This edition includes solo parts for violoncello (use piano accompaniment marked orchestral tuning) or double bass, playable in solo or orchestral tuning, and is a useful addition to the intermediate transcription, Repertoire. This edition includes piano accompaniments for both solo and orchestral tunings.
