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 influence of Ravel and Debussy is obvious and this has much to commend it to any adventurous bassist looking for something a little different. The piano accompaniment is strong yet supportive. This new edition includes piano accompaniments for both solo and orchestral tunings. Performance Level: Grade 8+
