Catalin Rotaru, double bass - Praeludium and Allegro by Fritz Kreisler

[heiheihang]

Great job! This piece seems quite difficult in double bass though... thanks for sharing =) To be honest, this piece is 100% perfect in violin and you played 99% in double bass(The 1% is the part in around 5 minute, you played slower than the original, maybe you were only making it stylish) Really gd:)

Fantástico como sempre Catalin! Bravo!

Que manera extraordinaria de acariciar la música....Felicidades....

You are amazing! I was a bass student at the school concert today and my jaw dropped to the floor....if that was physically possible anyway. I had intended to shake your hand as you passed to leave but I was in awe of your talent I could not move from my seat :)

Thank you for the performance!

is the solo part writen on the original key or for solo tuning?

Increíble, maestro....siempre expandiendo los horizontes de nuestro instrumento! :)

Oh my dear maestro, thank you for this. I see you have spent your time in Portugal well. You do indeed show the bass is a true solo instrument. But in order to do that, you have had to achieve a level of perfection. I love this chord progression--it is not just melancholy, but bittersweet. And the way you make the G string sing--up high, oh my! I have never seen your left thumb work so hard, too.

Thank you, be well, and best wishes always.

dupa 3 zile de transpus si doua saptamani de "cercetare" vad videoclipul acesta si pe cat imi pare de rau ca nu am facut lucrarea primul, pe atat imi pare de bine ca a fost facuta si cantata la adevarata valoare in prima auditie. Felicitari!

@johnflaherty219

thanks John for your super nice comment! Ranking is not important for me; showing the awesomeness of the bass as a true solo instrument, is. Thanks for listening and best wishes!
