Barbash Competition Bach Suite No 2 in D Minor Nina Bernat, double bass Master

[@gustovero]

I'm speechless. As a double bass player myself, I'm very well aware of the difficulties of this piece. This girl is totally amazing.

[@reivax5742]

I'm a cellist. This looks a lot harder on double bass than it does on cello. Amazing playing.

[@antoniocappuccini1498]

Remarkable technique and intonation and tasteful phrasing. What more could you ask for? excellent!

[@redbrick9634]

I'm pleased that this is allowed in competition. They should allow the same for classical and romantic cello repertoire. Music is all that matters. Conventions be damned. This is beautiful.

[@colinetsegers]

The emotional side of this suite is splendidly rendered with the double bass. Very beautiful version.

Pro tip - if you put this on repeat, it never has to end!

Is their surname Bernat or Cernat? The video and the caption don't match.

[@albertomorales9025]

I played double bass as a child and can attest to the fact that it takes great finger strength to play the bass, much less a piece mainly in that position (close to the bridge). Bravo!!

Bach était présent sur la scène

Oui incontestablement C'est bouleversant

[@SlovenijaInMyHeart]

Bravo! This is just fascinating 💪

[@comp.lucasdossantos]

Monstra! virei fã Infelizmente tenho visto o pessoal fazer esses improvisos no fim e acho que estraga a ideia toda. Não sei se acharam alguma partitura aí original com essas frases, mas até onde sei eram só acordes e sempre me arrepiei com eles. Esses improvisos aí cortam a vibe toda...

[@yasinkocaduz1807]

AMAZING. Bravo! Very hard piece yet she mastered. I really enjoyed it at 5 in the morning :)

[@user-zk1no9pj7x]

Brava!!

[@martinwerner1330]

Impressive playing - hats off! Please help me understand something: Why would you play this on a double bass in E minor - a whole step HIGHER, in actual pitch, than what you get playing the piece on a cello in the original D minor? Playing the piece on a double bass would make sense if you made use of the lower range of that instrument. It would create a whole new and very attractive sonority.

[@nathanbegel4505]

It's because her bass is in solo tuning (F#-B-E-A). She's playing it D minor (because of the fingerings it's best to stay in the original tonality and octave) on the fingerboard but it sounds in E minor because of the tuning. Solo strings are used because they project more and require less strength to use. Hope that's more clear for you!

[@rimeplayz4216]

haha pov youre a double bass player who can barley shift watching this 😭

[@esthertevaarwerk6410]

Which tuning does she use?

[@Awqkened903]

Solo tuning F# B E and A

[@ДавидРужавинский]

In allemanda 3 bars to the end not b flat (Mark's mistake)

[@bironbrunelle5186]

Good intonation but the bow is not always parallel to the floor…still pretty good…:/)
