SKU: RM201
Description
- Composer: Carl Nielsen
- Arranger: David Heyes
- Publisher: Recital Music
Originally for oboe, these two early Fantasy Pieces by Carl Nielsen (1865-1931), Denmark's most famous composer, transcribe well for double bass. They would be ideal for players of about Grade 8 level offering effective musical and technical challenges in the orchestral register, but also venturing into thumb position. Romance is lyrical and evocative, contrasting a more lively and playful Humoresque. The piano accompaniments are supportive and independent, full of romantic bravura and flourish, and the pieces can be successfully performed singly or together as a suite. The pieces are enjoyable and accessible making a useful addition to the popular transcription repertoire. Ideal for any concert or audience to demonstrate the qualities of the solo double bass. Romance is set forGrade 8 (ABRSM/Trinity-Guildhall). Humoresque has been set for the Advanced Certificate (Trinity-Guildhall). Only available in orchestral tuning.
