Jeff Berlin's Bass Part on Ravel's "Valse Nobles et Sentimentales No. IV"

[BassoRidiculoso]

I guess playing Bach wasn't hard enough for Mr. Berlin, so he went and recorded this waltz by Maurice Ravel as a duet with Richard Drexler (on piano) on his last album, "Higher Standards".

 

It's only about 2 minutes long, but it will confound and perplex your fingers, guaranteed. Download a pdf and hear some samples of people playing it, with links to snippets of Mr. Berlin's version.

 

Bask in the unbelieve-itude of it all here:
