Performance Notes

Keeping true to the harmonies, texture and timbre of the original piano composition, these magical pieces have been arranged to be performed within the limits of the four stringed bass guitar.

1 Sarabande – from Pour le Piano – Debussy
This piece makes use of open harmonics across the instrument, the highest and lowest ranges, and techniques including tapping and double stopping. Developing a well-formed left hand is fundamental in producing clear and accurate harmonies.

2 Prelude in C# Minor – Rachmaninoff
The contrasting passages of this arrangement include the forceful opening utilising double stopping and open strings, with the use of thumb and hammer-ons in the delicate and spritely middle section, building to the final grande statement of the original opening melody.

3 Clair de Lune – Debussy
This hauntingly beautiful piece requires subtle tonal control as rubato pianissimo phrases develop into more definitive crescendoing anime passages. The calm essence of this piece will test both accurate technique and dynamic control.
