John Alexander . Composed for Double Bass 2000, Portfolio is a suite of five short pieces for the good beginner bassist and each is based on a modern work of art. There are musical and technical challenges for the younger player with a simple and effective piano accompaniment. The style is modern but tonally accessible. 'These are simple, lovely works that are not scripted by any bass method, but which will present the early student with simple and rewarding musical challenges.'
