My bass professor is going to have me play this my senior year at DSU and I literally can't wait. Such a beautiful piece.

[@annecohen8927]

This is exactly how it sounded!!! Beautiful! A double bass that thinks it’s a cello!❤❤❤❤❤. This man reminds me of one of the most remarkable musicians under the baton of the late Leonard Bernstein!!

[@duett445]

Beautiful, Never seen The Base being played in that sitting position before. Looks comfortable.

[@nicolassetnarsky8555]

Stupendous! I've been studying this piece on the double bass and now I really know how it must sound like

[@XaviBasser]

Wow, I've never seen this position playing contrabass. Great performance

[@bluman1560]

Usually when I hear someone play it on a bass, it’s played an octave lower. Now I can finally prove my friend that he can play it in the original range lol.

[@VitoLiuzzi]

Ti mando un caro saluto Orazio: sei UNICO !!! Abbraccio!

[@jonathangriffin4594]

Wonderful thumb position tone and articulation. Wish I could play with that much clarity up high

[@lingling8047]

When i try making those notes that high it sounds like this: IIIIIIIHHHHHHHIIIIiiiiiHHHHhhhhhHhhhIIIIIIiIIiIiIIi

[@odod992]

For me, it sounds like a dying goat. 😭

[@YohoAnimates]

This is the best Double bass player I have ever seen. Well done! 🎉❤😊

[@YohoAnimates]

@@odod992 I think dying goats need therapy. Therapist: good luck kid.

[@doublebassbilbao]

[@santiagobenitez1388]

Your technique is exceptional.

[@nemo227]

I knew that there had to be someone who could do justice to this piece on double bass. Delightful.

[@ghitaciprian]

oh my, 45° double bass way of playing. the interpretation, delightful !

[@brandanscheller]

it really is quite comfortable for thumb position playing :D

[@ChamberForMusic]

It's true Brandan, but I didn´t absolutely switch to this position for it, but for other and more generic reasons.

[@CorSax-nl]

[@ChamberForMusic]

It's a double-bass made by Ciro Sirleto in 2000 in Napoli.

[@nelsonaburto6202]

Muy emotivo

[@elladoz1966]

Thank you for sharing 🙌

[@rubenkandikian5373]

Wonderful! Honestly, who are the 7 morons who gave this thumbs down?

[@coldstreamcybernaut2845]

Jealous cellists

[@madiganjennison8216]

who was this arrangement by? do you still have the sheet music?

[@ChamberForMusic]

Hi Madigan, it's not actually a transcription. Just used the original cello and piano score.

[@datboihanash]

where can I get sheet music to this?

[@ChamberForMusic]

It's just the cello score. Try out at imslp.

[@Lepewhi]

Truly beautiful playing. But, why not just play the cello? Or something that expresses the instrument(bass).

[@ChamberForMusic]

Hi and thank you very much! Not really clear your second statement. As to the first: simply because I play double-bass and not cello :D

[@Lepewhi]

First, again beautiful playing. But, it's also nice to hear something that highlights what makes the bass special, the bass notes.Those lower tones. That's what I meant.

[@katiee8955]

because double bass is cooler than cello

[@iacum3]

If the double bass has the upper register, then why not to explore it? Then, according to your statement, violins shouldn't play from the middle to the lower positions, because the register in the violin is high? Or should pianos only have from A3 to A6?

[@FreakyWizardTv]

Because bass is cooler then cello and basses make everything sound better haha
