[Syd787]

this song is just all kinds of awesome. Me and my friend are going to play it, if i can figure out the piano properly...

[Zappyguy111]

We tried this piece, unfortunately we lacked a base and the cellist wasn't skilful enough to cover for him...

I played this piece years ago!

it was hard, but manage to get the final chords. :)

This takes me back. Lovely piece I will say.

if you must know, this is one movement in the carnival. the title 'elephant' refers to the music, played by entirely by double bass accompanied by piano.

of course its ridiculous to have a whole string orchest to play a song that recuire only the bass, but surely the camera guy is only recording only part of the perfomance. there are another song that showcase the high string instead.

Brilliant idea mate. Post it on here when you do.

[Refrescospepito]

Crazy! You can't see the bass player!
