Beschreibung
This is the seventh of the 11 Preludes and Fugues in the Baroque Style for
double bass solo I have written to date. This set of pieces was invented to
fill the gap in the baroque era literature for the instrument, since the
double bass as such was understood generally as a continuo group instrument.
Yet, I was delighted to discover its polyphonic possibilities and that one is
actually able to play and lead different voices on it. These two factors made
me delve into the vast world of polyphony thus giving us, double bassists,
music we never had before. Prelude and Fugue no. 7 is dedicated to my dear
friend and brilliant double bassist and pedagogue, David Heyes and has strong
roots in English Baroque music. The Prelude is a piece following closely the
idea of C.F. Abel?s famous Allegro in D minor WKO 205 for bass viol solo.
Albeit the double bass doesn?t have this great number of strings, nor does it
have frets, this composition, along with the Fugue, is a very good proof that
apart from all the difficulties concerning playing such a big-sized
instrument one can imitate playing a polyphonic instrument. It was premiered
by the composer in Kraków, Poland on 12 June 2018. It?s UK premiere was by
David Heyes in Fleet, Hampshire on 21 June 2019. Programme notes by Micha?

productivity.? Many of his compositions have been premiered in different
countries including USA, Germany, Venezuela, Italy and Great Britain.
