Thank You very much!

As for all this talk about the piece not being appropraite to doble bass...folks gotta realize that music is music. The musician works by manifesting their musical sensibilities, on their instrument, whatever that is. You can't ask a good player to learn violin to play a violin partita. This gentleman's phrasing and musicality are brilliant and evocative. What more could you ask for?

i think its perfect for the bass because the bass has the purest sound. and that is perfect for this peice

Nice gymnastics but best kept in the practise room... Kudos for the hard work and for trying to play musically, bravo ! But on the bass it does sound like an exercise, nothing more.

Certified Intergalactic! I award Zoltán Bíró the Intergalactic Bass Prize.

This is very good, excellent I must say. It must be a lot of finger work on the bass is it? Congrats bro :)

I think the bass sounds more Articulate......enough said

To me it doesn't matter what instrument(s) a piece of music is written for. The goal of music is to bring joy to people, no matter, where they're from. Music is the only language that everybody can understand but everybody understands it a bit differently on the other hand and there is no wrong and right among this issue. Due to bass it gets a completely different character. because the sound is a bit thinner but stronger. But the cello/violin version's great as well.Thumps up for this vid ;)

@eliseoborrero i guess... but that doesn't make you any less wrong when you say this piece was written for cello...

[eliseoborrero]

@colinmacknight that is exactly my point. it wasn't written for bass. some violin pieces work for bass and some sound forced. anyway that's what I think and there's freedom of speech in this country.

[colinmacknight]

@eliseoborrero that is so false. this was not written for cello at all. it was written for VIOLIN. and bach also transcribed it for organ as the sinfonia to cantata #29

[redviolin1231]

@eliseoborrero Back wrote this piece for violin actually :) but ye, i play violin, but any violin song can be played by a cello or double bass, but to make it sound good, the bass or cello player must add more into it to create a good version for themselves, so this bass player has done very well with his phrasing and keeping it at a nice tempo for a bass. thumbs up for the vid btw

@MaskguyEvan well then, good luck with your music career trying to sound right, like everybody else :)
