Auguste Chapuis Ed: David Heyes . Dedicated to French bassist Edouard Nanny, this exquisite miniature is now available in both solo and orchestral tunings (published together) for the first time. The music is strongly independent and lyrical, in a mildly modern idiom, and makes an ideal recital work for the good intermediate bassist (c.Grade 8). The piano accompaniment is strong yet supportive. 'Choral is an interesting and most welcome turn of the 20th-century French work...it covers a three-octave range, though it is largely unproblematic from a technical standpoint...it's a good addition to the repertoire.'
