Beschreibung
Teppo Hauta-aho is the most prolific composer in the history of the double
bass and has composed for every level of bassist, from beginner to virtuoso.
Mini-Bass Quartet No.1 was composed in the 1980s, when the introduction of
smaller sized double basses, required new solo and ensemble repertoire which
was aimed specifically at younger bassists. Teppo Hauta-aho rose to the
challenge and composed three quartets for mini basses, progressing in
difficulty through the three. Mini-Bass Quartet No.1 uses first and second
position only, employing simple rhythms and dynamics, but also introducing
young bassists to different playing techniques at an early stage. Arco,
pizzicato, Bartok pizz., glissando, percussion and col legno are inventively
used to create colour, interest and challenges within the early stages of
study. It can be played by quartet or massed basses and is a colourful and
atmopsheric introduction to quartet playing.
