Beschreibung
Mini-Bass Quartet No.2 was completed on 21 October 1991 and has remained in
manuscript until this edition. In one movement, it is aimed at the
progressing young bass quartet and is primarily in 1st and 4th positions with
a few modern sounds added for contrast and interest. Arco, pizzicato and
simple harmonics create a backdrop against which simple percussive rhythms
add to the harmonic textures. The middle section encourages each player to
let their hair down' with different noises, sounds and effects to demonstrate
the many possibilities of the 20th-century double bass. The mini-bass became
popular during the second half of the 1980s and this quartet is both
traditional and forward looking from a composer who understands the potential
of the double bass, even during the first years of study. It offers effective
musical and technical challenges for the bassists and is both effective and
exciting in performance
