Frantisek Gregora Ed: Miloslav Gajdos . A short and characterful dance and ideal for the intermediate bassist. Frantisek Gregora (1819-1887) was one of the leading Czech bassists of his generation and composed many works for double bass. His music is charming, appealing and accessible for the enterprising bassist. 'A useful teaching piece...the forays into thumb position are not difficult, and everything lies well under the hand. The piece is musically unchallenging but satisfying to play.' (ESTA News & Views) Grade 7 standard.. Performance Level: 6;7.. Grade: 6 - 7
