| Abstract | The goal of this book is to help bassists expand their tonal vocabularies: to learn to make a wide variety of colors and shapes with music. The left hand makes no sound; it is the bow that creates articulations, rhythms, and rises and falls within a phrase. Using the famous Franz Wohlfahrt studies for violin as the basis, Gaelen McCormick has selected and edited these etudes to teach and reinforce bowing techniques for the bass. It is a never before seen collection that will greatly enhance the pedagogical repertoire for the instruction of the bass. All bassists should have this as part of their study materials. |
