Beschreibung
Duettino Basso V is dedicated to David Heyes, Ben Groenevelt and Alberto
Bocini. In one extended movement, it contrasts jazz, classical and
contemporary styles alongside arco and pizzicato, employing much of the range
of the double bass, and lasting around 3-4 minutes. Bass 1 plays arco
primarily, usually in treble clef often employing simple but evocative and
atmospheric melodies in harmonics. Bass 2 plays exclusively pizzicato and
underpins the piece with a strongly direct and confident jazz-inspired
syncopated accompaniment. The contrasting musical styles creates a work of
great imagination and skill, typical of the music of Teppo Hauta-aho, and
Duettino Basso V follows a line of successful double bass duets which would
be suitable for any audience or occasion. There are few technical challenges
for the good intermediate bass duo but scope to create and explore many
soundscapes and musical landscapes, demonstrating the possibilities of the
double bass.
