Concerto No.2 'Haydn' A series of works based on the surviving two bars of Haydn's 'lost' Double Bass Concerto. Based on the two surviving bars of Haydn's 'lost' Double Bass Concerto and dedicated to David Heyes, this magnificent new concerto is a tour-de-force from a respected and leading Czech bassist-composer. In a tonal and accessible style, there are musical and technical challenges for the advanced bassist and this edition is only available in solo tuning. Influenced by the late 18th-century style, but imbued with Czech lyricism and influences, this new three-movement concerto is a major addition to the repertoire and utilises the entire range of the double bass. The concerto has been performed throughout Europe many times, most recently in Macedonia and Serbia by the composer. Miloslav Gajdos has composed and transcribed many works for double bass in a 40 year career and is Professor of Double Bass at the Vejvenovsky Conservatoire in Kromeriz (Czech Republic) alongside many international recitals and masterclasses. Concerto No.2 'Haydn' is available in three orchestrations alongside the published edition with piano. Please contact the publishers for more information about the various orchestrations. Performance Level: Advanced Miloslav Gajdos is one of Europe's most active and inventive bassist-composers. He was born in northern Moravia in 1948 and initially learned violin before transferring to the double bass, studying with Alois Kriz, Jiri Bortlicek and Ludwig Streicher. He has been Professor of Double Bass at the Vejvenovsky Conseravtoire in Kromeriz (Czech Republic) since 1971, and was a member of the Olomouc Symphony Orchestra for a number of years. He is Director of the Gregora International Double Bass Competition, founded in 1979 and held every two years in Kromeriz, and has been a juror at many competitions in Hungary, Germany and the Czech Republic. Miloslav Gajdos is a prolific composer and arranger and, for almost 40 years, has produced a vast body of original works and transcriptions for double bass which are performed worldwide. His original works combine Czech lyricism and melody with brilliant technical demands, and music from one to sixteen double basses. He writes in a traditional and accessible style, producing music for every level of performer, particularly for the advanced bassist, and his many works for unaccompanied double bass are frequently chosen as international competition repertoire. Miloslav Gajdos was Recital Music's Featured Composer in 2007 and has recently revised a number of earlier works for the intermediate bassist which will be published by Recital Music.

Composed in France over a century ago these three short pieces are ideal for the intermediate bassist. The style is lyrical tonal and approachable offering interesting study or concert repertoire with lively supportive and effective accompaniments. Parade is lively and rhythmic remaining in bass clef throughout; Cantabile is melodic and dramatic offering cantabile and musical challenges in equal measure and Menuet Varie has lyrical and rhythmic contrasts and is the most challenging of the three. Ratez was a fairly prolific composer and these pieces were dedicated to M. Charpentier Professor of Double Bass at the Paris Conservatoire. These piecesare popular with students and teachers alike.

A short three-movement 'characteristic' sonatina composed for Double Bass 2000 and premiered at Wells Cathedral School. Aimed at the intermediate bassist this is a work full of lyrical episodes and utilises the medium-high range of the instrument. The composer writes: 'My Sonatina a brief frivolous piece was partly written to exploit the range of the double bass both its lower and upper reaches. The first movement is in strict sonata form - exposition repeat and all. The second movement is tongue-in-cheek 18th-century form; the sonatina is a very 19th-century form. Its main theme turns up again as the middle section of the final movement a tinywaltz. Other snatches of material are common to all three movements.'

Studies for Bass - Based on the Violin Studies of Franz Wohlfahrt-The goal of Mastering The Bow Part 1 is to help bassists expand their tonal vocabularies: to learn to make a wide variety of colours and shapes with music. The left hand makes no sound; it is the bow that creates articulations rhythms and rises and falls within a phrase. Using the famous Franz Wohlfahrt Studies for Violin as the basis Gaelen McCormick has selected and edited these etudes to teach and reinforce bowing techniques for the bass. Quite simply there is no other book out there for string bass players that addresses bow technique in this manner and Mastering the Bow will greatly enhance the pedagogical repertoire for theinstruction of the bass. All bassists should have this as part of their study materials. For beginning to intermediate players.
