Double Bass Solo Techniques Book - Keith Hartley

Double Bass Solo Techniques combines the dual function of a technique book and a collection of orchestral excerpts. The techniques are introduced in a logical order, and each is preceded by a short explanatory note, providing technical advice and tips on musical performance.

“Hartley has put together an excellent collection of music from the orchestral literature for the double bass.” (Strad)
