Beschreibung
Bass2018 was held in the historic city of Lucca (Italy), bringing together
850 bassists from 50 countries. The convention included many recitals,
concerts, lectures, masterclasses and seminars and Teppo Hauta-aho was a
Featured Composer. 'Teppo in Lucca' included 15 international bassists each
performing a work for unaccompanied double bass, many composed and dedicated
to that bassist, and four works from 'VIVA LUCCA!!' were premiered during the
week. Each of the five pieces in 'VIVA LUCCA!' is dedicated to a friend and
supporter of the composer and was composed especially for Bass2018. They
offer musical and technical challenges and explore the entire range of the
double bass utilising many playing techniques which are available to the
21st-century composer and bassist. Viva Lucca I (dedicated to Alberto
Bocini) makes extensive use of the harmonic range of the double bass, often
double stops, creating an ethereal and evoctive soundworld which is
occasionally grounded by a pizzicato open string. Premiered by Alberto Bocini
in the Chiesa si San Romano (Lucca, Italy) on Saturday 4 August 2018. Viva
Lucca II (dedicated to Gabriele Ragghianti) is lyrical and effective,
employing arco and pizzicato in equal measure, with much to say and to
challenge within its limited time frame. Premiered by Gabriele Ragghianti in
the Chiesa di San Romano (Lucca, Italy) on Saturday 4 August 2018. Viva
Lucca III - David's Story (dedicated to David Heyes) uses the letter's from
David's name to create the melodic material. An introduction, played almost
entirely in harmonics, leads into a lyrical and sonorous section before
moving into the higher register, eventually returning and ending with a
series of strummed pizzicato chords. Premiered by David Heyes in the
Boccherini Auditorium (Lucca, Italy) on Friday 3 August 2018. Viva Lucca IV
- Dan's Story (dedicated to Dan Styffe) is played pizzicato throughout and
explores the lower orchestral register before introducing a more lyrical
theme in the solo range. Harmonics are used to add conmtrast and interest and
the piece ends simply with a repetition of part of the opening theme.
Premiered by Dan Styffe in the Chiesa di San Romano (Lucca, Italy) on
Thursday 2 August 2018. Viva Lucca V - Dan's Encore Miniature (dedicated to
Dan Styffe) is also played pizzicato throughout with movement and energy
interrupted by strummed double stops. It ends with an atmospheric coda played
in ringing harmonics, played in the lower register, gradually descending
before ending simply with open E.
