Format : Sheet music
A very well constructed brief 'serious' work this short piece offers effective and accessible music for the intermediate bassist using almost a three octave range with scope to demonstrate a range of sounds colours and moods. Two editions included together - for solo double bass or for 2 or more bassists. 'Erkon Elegia is accessible to advanced beginning bassists with the ability to perform with confidence into the lower thumb positions.' [ISB] 'Erkon Elegia is a versatile little piece that can be played as a solo duo trio or ensemble. In only 49 bars and using elementary music Hauta-aho manages to use many of his trademark compositionalcharacteristics...it's friendly geography and varied colourscape should prove popular with beginning bassists.' [Double Bassist]
