Lloyd Goldstein: A Walk in the Woods for unaccompanied double bass

About the Composition

A patient of mine came up with the title for this original piece. 

Listeners are always amazed at the way the whole instrument vibrates and dances with this tune. They are surprised that so much music can come from just 4 strings! 

They tap their feet and smile, and once in a while, I turn to find a nurse, tech, or environmental staff dancing behind me.

A Review of Lloyd's collection of pieces, 'The Way Back'

…each piece of music seems to give back to the performer. In the pedagogical repertoire, many of the pieces in this collection seem to fill a void in bridging the gap between student repertoire and the artist/concerto level. Whether you are a teacher, student, amateur, or professional performer, this book has many musical selections guaranteed to provide a catharsis beyond what one would expect. I highly recommend this book for any bassist who would like to enjoy practicing more.
