OMFG!!!!!!!!!! This is my solo this Sat. Although my slow part doesnt have to be that slow, but its got to sound pretty. LOL well wish me luck!!!! Imma need it. =]
Another thing!!! Before going to the repeat of the b section, where there's that little piano 5-1 falling pattern. Take your time! That's the juiciest part. You played it so quickly. That's no fun! I played this for gary karr one time and he showed me all his silly ideas that are really effective.
Love your tone, bow, and intonation. REally a great performance. I am playing this on my senior recital! Few tricks that I know people do. On the third octave B natural, stretch your hand to play the B an octave below on the d string with your thumb keeping the bowing pattern of the theme. Also, go for the 4th octave on the last repeat of the theme! Doing the whole chromatic descent an octave up as well. That's what I do but not nearly as clean and amazing as you. GREAT JOB!
Well done!!!! I know this was written for cello (I am playing right now), but you play it much more musically than most cellists. Really really great. Maybe one day I will be as good a musician as you. haha :)
wow, you do a very good job switching to bass on this song! Bravo! I Learned this piece just a piece just a few weeks ago on the cello and there are so many aspects like timing and intonation that are very hard. You did a great job with it . thanks
I thought it was a cello at first, and i was horrified at your bow hold.= )heh, heh! and then I realized how it didn't sound like a cello at all, and then I relaxed. = )Anyway, really great job!
AAAH, Awesome,great playing. It has a very nice sound with double bass. I play this on cello and it´s very hard for me. I think about changing to double bass. Can you sayme something about pieces for double bass e.g. ?? that would be nice. Thanks, Julian( 13 years old, german)
Rest in peace Kazuo Okuda.

Lots of passion and vitality on expression. That's what I love about him. He is the giant of Bassissimo!
And the way he plays the Cantabile is his own. It gets into my emotion and it is so great!!

German bow is really hard to play. I'm impressed. I mostly pay pizzicato because I started double bass with a German bow.

@cellolover123 :O Well congrats on playing this on bass.
Either all the bassists I've seen suck, or you win. Probably both ;)
