Description

The Ragtime Bass Player is Adolf Lotter’s most popular work for double bass and was composed in 1913. The piece has an elephantine charm that everyone would enjoy and the four-bar introduction grabs the attention instantly. The opening double bass theme has a jaunty and playful counter-melody which adds a great sense of fun from the outset, and the double bass remains in bass clef throughout making excellent use of the lower orchestral register of the double bass. The music is lively, charming, and fun and would still be a great addition to any popular concert which wanted something to feature the bassists.
