The bass really is criminally overlooked by most when they think of an orchestra, especially since it can make delightful sounds like the ones on display here.

It is overlooked, but these sounds would be almost impossible to create in a big orchestra, not least because of the necessity to be able to play much lower notes.

@KooMoo I am a double bass player myself and I'm afraid that I cannot agree with you, because the technique is not the most important aspect of music, that's like taking a scoop of ice cream and putting a lot of cream on it, at one point you'll be bored with the taste and you'll just want to taste the ice cream itself.

Double bass is such a gorgeous soloing instrument, it's a shame that it is only viewed by many as something to fill the lower frequency register in the orchestra. It's tone is so deep, and rich. Way less piercing than a violin, or a cello. It's sound envelops you. It's like having a warm hug :)

Rules for classical music video directors: 1. When the soloist has a particularly impressive part, focus on the accompanist, and visa versa. 2. When the soloist has a technically demanding fingering passage, focus on the bow arm, and visa versa. 3. Focus on a part of the instrument when nothing involving the left or right hands will enter the frame to disrupt the beauty of your visual composition.

Listen to recordings, play along with recordings, learn/memorize the music by heart and what the rest of the orchestra is playing at any given time, and record yourself so you can review it later and find things to improve on. There are many many techniques you can use to help you in these aspects, but oftentimes the hardest thing to do is finding the shortcomings of your own playing in the first place. Hope this helps.

I just stumbled across this. I don't really know the first thing about classical music (aside from the mainstream Vivaldis, Beethovens, etc - I come from a guitar playing background) but that was more than someone just playing their instrument. Just thinking about the physical side of things; the stretching to reach the higher notes (off of the fretboard as well), fretless (absolute perfect pitch to play solo and then join back in with the piano), extreme, quick shifting hand positions without needing to look. Sheet music - pah! I'll just remember every single note from the score, not miss one single note and add another complete dimension of emotion to it. I remember a lot of songs but classical music, when performed live, seems to have a lot more air of detail and scrutiny upon it. Actually, this is not just memorising a piece. This level of performance goes way beyond the ability of the conscious mind alone. Wow. This truly is, witnessing someone that is one with their instrument. :)

I agree. And I have just fallen in love with double bass after hearing Bozo Paradzik play the theme from _Schindler's List_ on double bass, although he used his sheet music. It was one of the most beautiful things I ever heard. Now, hearing this musician, Ibragimov, I am in absolute awe.

4:50 what piano did is ON PAIR with the soloist. Well I can tell you as an amateur pianist that the sound posibilities of piano are severely limited comparing to bowed instruments. You can change color of the tone a bit but it always comes somehow with the change of dynamics. The only option is the sustain pedal but it doesnt help much as you are loosing details. So the precise timing and precise using of speed and pressure is the key. The lady playing on the piano is incredible precise and sensitive. More precise then surgeon - let me say it this way. Bowed instruments have hundreds options how to change quality of the sound. Piano has just two options : increase/decrease the pressure on the key and once you press the key you can't do anything with it BUT it works if played masterfully . I mean really masterfully.

Oh how this beauty of music is a blessing to my ears. The piece, paints such a pleasant picture in my head--a world of seizing; rythmic patterns such as this piece, it rings over and over through my ears just like its new everytime. I wish I could intently listen to this charm repeatedly, like I had just stumbled upon this piece. The joy; the sadness, and peace in my mind, the first time I heard this. I could almost feel the vibrations of the string hit my mind, drift me off somewhere unimaginable--and lay there. Utter peace, calm; dare I say, freedom. I am blessed by hearing this, and will forever look (and hear) upon this piece once every so, and relinquish all my thoughts. but seriously, this piece (and many more played by Rinat) have inspired me to play bass, more and more each day. Rest in peace Rinat, you have most definitely changed my life in many ways, and cannot wait to enjoy years of playing, bass.

GamerTron X100 probably their way of measuring progress in their school. Personally, I think it should be measured in the highest position you have mastered. Thats 6th for me, I'm in middle school as well.
@nicholebarden8492 7 жыл бұрын
There is a music festival called nyssma and you prepare a solo based on the level that is fit for you. The level 5 is just a more "advanced" level (for a person who's not in college)
@jasonmeusel9490 6 жыл бұрын
Why would it be measured by the highest position mastered? I know numerous bassists who are excel at the upper positions but are easily outplayed in the lower positions.

Ahven This piece was written for a three stringed bass. I think I’ve only found use in my E string for 3 notes as I practice the first movement. The use of three strings is first and foremost for sound characteristics.

Bass is very nice to play, while not as easy to play for melodic writing 👍 I've been playing for 4 years and I'm learning other bottesini works, like elegy no1. Good luck, you're going to improve fast since you're a cellist :)

Actually, I have never seen a 3-string Bass before. I assume that you write for it just like a normal 4-string Bass? I'm sure there are some differences though. Most of the music I write will be for a standard 4-string Double Bass. Orchestration is a fascinating, tedious subject to learn, because every instrument has so many nuances.
