New Technique for the Double Bass part 1-With little exisiting in the way of study books for the Double Bass François Rabbath's (b.1931) three volume series New Technique of the Double Bass is welcomed by all performers of the instrument. Syrian born Rabbath moved to Paris in 1955 to further his studies on the Double Bass. He soon began composing for the instrument as well as transcribing works of other composers for the instrument. The first volume of New Technique of the Double Bass is a significant contribution to the field of Double Bass pedagogy and covers physical approaches to the instrument bowing rhythms intervals while also containing exercises and studies. As a virtuoso player of the instrument himself frequently performing as a soloist Rabbath compiles this technical study book with vast knowledge and experience. Being such a prominent double bassist Rabbath's New Technique of the Double Bass accompanied by a CD is a well-informed and essential accompaniment to all Double Bass studies.

18 Lektionen / 18 Lessons-The long awaited Sassmannshaus method Early Start on the Double Bass is now here. At last students of the largest instrument in the string family can make use of this tried and tested method for beginners developed by Egon Sassmannshaus for the other string instruments and applied here to the double bass by Holger Sassmannshaus and J. Peter Close. This method will meet the needs of the growing number of young bass students. “Early Start on the Double Bass” encompasses everything that one would expect from a Sassmannshaus method: an easy start progression at a suitable rate many cross-references to the other string instruments songsand scales in different positions from early on as well as many duets. Lively and colourful illustrations by Charlotte Panowsky complete the edition. For more than three decades “The Sassmannshaus Tradition” has been the household name for excellence in beginner string methods in German-speaking countries. The English editions for violin viola and violoncello which were introduced to the international market in 2008 have proven to be very successful particularly in the United States. Kids to the Bass!While children learning other string instruments can start as early as the age of four the appropriate age to begin the double bass is approximately eight (possibly even six); this allows for a faster progression than on the other string instruments and the method consists of only three volumes. The first volume will be published separately in an English and a German edition; the following two volumes will have German and English text in each book. Original compositions by Boguslaw Furtok enrich the volumes. Based on the tried-and-tested Sassmannshaus methods for violin viola and cello Volume 1: Separate editions in German and English Volumes 2 and 3: Bilingual German/English editions Moderate increase in difficulty Position playing duets Includes new original compositions by B.

Yorke Edition-Born in Oxford in 1917 Francis Baines was a well-known and much respected professional double bass player. He studied at the Royal College of Music in London with Claude Hobday where he later taught. Something of an eccentric he immersed himself in early music at a time when few people were taking it seriously. He owned a beautiful Amati bass that he had restored as a violone which it probably was originally and he was a regular fixture as a principal player in a number of orchestras and ensembles that dedicated themselves to period performing including those directed by Denys Darlow with whom he broadcast and recorded frequently.Besides playing the doublebass Francis Baines was an exponent of the treble viol and led the Jaye Consort of Viols which he founded. He also played several kinds of bagpipe and the hurdy-gurdy. As a composer he dabbled in many styles one of his greatest claims to fame being that of writing for the popular Hoffnung concerts in the 1960s. He was the author of a number of papers about the history of the double bass sometimes arriving at scholarly conclusions that were colourful if not always entirely accurate. He discovered the Giovannino del Violone sonatas subsequently published by Yorke Edition although today it is thought that they were probably not written for a 16' pitch instrument at all. His edition of the Capuzzi double bass concerto published by Boosey & Hawkes was for many years one of the few solo works available for the instrument. This however he largely re-composed because he thought it could be improved: towards the end of his life he confessed that with hindsight he probably should have treated it differently.Grounds was written in 1969 as a sort of party piece and was given to Yorke Edition in support of a drive to enlarge the repertoire for the instrument in a wide variety of styles. It was set on the syllabus of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music for many years.Francis Baines died

New Technique for the Double Bass part 5- Bass player François Rabbath born in 1931 in Aleppo is a real character in the world of music. He settled in Paris in 1955 where he played with the stars (Barbara Aznavour…) while continuing as a classical instrumentalist. Throughout the four preceding volumes Rabbath’s Nouvelle technique de la contrebasse presented in a four-language version (French English German and Spanish) endeavours to free the pupil from the shackles of traditional teaching. Always guided by the same conviction -that there is no need to torture one’s body to become an instrumentalist - Rabbath rounds off his educational epic with this fifth book which will offer great musical pleasure to the trainee bass player who can take pride in having overcome the technical difficulties covered in the first four books. This collection includes real concert pieces - works of great charm such as the nostalgic Cri de Venise for double bass and piano and the Troisième Concerto with its enveloping lyricism as well as short pieces such as Souviens-tu des douze peupliers and the irresistible Mama Bahija for bass drum and organ.
