Miniatures Book 2 for double bass & piano (edited by David Heyes)

About the Collection

Miniatures is part of an ongoing series featuring long-forgotten or unknown music, primarily by bassist-composers of the late 19th and early 20th-centuries, and is aimed at the intermediate bassist. Book 2 brings together music from Czech Republic, Denmark, UK and Austria. 

This series aims to bring a wealth of rare and neglected music back to life by creating new and accessible editions with accompaniments for both solo and orchestral tunings. Primarily in the orchestral register, including passages in thumb position, each miniature is ideal as both recital and study repertoire, offering musical and technical challenges in equal measure. Most of the pieces in this collection last around 3-4 minutes each. 

Miniatures Book 2 is edited by David Heyes. 

The edition includes accompaniments for both solo and orchestral tunings.
