Adolf Lotter . Scored for Violin, Double Bass and Piano - also playable by Flute, Bassoon and Piano. Darby & Joan has been long out of print until this new edition and is a novelty intermezzo in the romantic salon style of the early part of the 20th century. The music is lyrical and melodic, with few technical challenges for the good intermediate player, and successfully partners the highest and lowest members of the string family. In one movement and full of lively music, this would be ideal for anyone who enjoyed playing Lotter's The Ragtime Bass Player. Double Bass is on orchestral tuning. Darby & Joan is also available with string orchestra (or quartet) accompaniment (RM300).. Performance Level: 7;8.. Grade: 7 - 8
