In spring 2002 the double bass will make its première appearance in the Henle urtext catalogue as a solo instrument. The Hoffmeister Double Bass Concerto will be joined by the "Elephant," Camille Saint-Saëns's enchanting miniature from the Carnival of the Animals. This "hit," one of the few double bass compositions attractive to learners and seasoned musicians alike, now appears in a Henle urtext edition for double bass in solo and orchestral tuning, with piano parts in F major and E flat major.
Reviews
Most of us have played this well known piece of the bass repertoire. For those who haven’t, this edition with its preface is certainly the most rewarding own.
[Double Bassist, 2002]
… that this is a very nice edition – beautifully printed on a good quality paper and programme notes that will be rifled by many an intermediate bassist. Recommended.
