Frantisek Cerny . Nocturno & Intermezzo. Double Bass & Piano. Arguably Frantisek Cerny's finest work for double bass, this combines Czech lyricism with bravura and virtuosic flourish and there are opportunities to display lyrical phrasing and musicality throughout the range of the instrument. Ideal for any bassist with a thorough knowledge of the solo raneg of the instrument, and this is a work where you can display more than simply technical prowess. 'Clearly reminiscent of Dvorak and at times even Brahms, Nocturno & Intermezzo exploits the lyric strengths of the double bass, offering the performer rich expressive opportunities over a wide range of the instrument.' [ISB] Recorded by Frantisek Posta and Stefan Schafer. The edition includes piano accompaniments for both solo and orchestral tunings. [ATCL Diploma].
