Written for the Lawrence Morton and the Monday Evening Concerts, Los Angeles."Not too many composers would dream of writing a joyous piece for the double-bass.... The piece strikes a nice balance between the gay and the expressive, and makes demands on the double-bass that only a player with...cello-like facility and exceptional range of tonal nuance could be expected to cope with successfully."
- Albert Goldberg, Los Angeles Times, Oct. 12, 1954
