Members bnyswonger Posted July 19, 2005 Members Posted July 19, 2005 Bach is always good....interesting & challenging stuff to play. It'll school you in theory too. Try the left hand part from anything from "the well-tempered clavier" or from one of the two part inventions.
Members Thrash Jazz Posted July 19, 2005 Members Posted July 19, 2005 The Bach Cello Suites are good - some of his violin pieces too.
Members D Aussie Posted July 19, 2005 Members Posted July 19, 2005 I like warming up on hall of the mountain king and tocattta fuge in Dm.No {censored}.. I do.
Members the_big_geez Posted July 20, 2005 Members Posted July 20, 2005 Check out Ottorino Respighi's 'Ancient Airs and Dances', preferably the one done by the Philharmonia Hungarica. It's a bunch of centuries-old folk songs he penned for a full orchestra.
Members bassguy Posted July 20, 2005 Author Members Posted July 20, 2005 where can i get bas tabs/powertabs of classical music?
Members james on bass Posted July 20, 2005 Members Posted July 20, 2005 Originally posted by Thrash Jazz The Bach Cello Suites are good - some of his violin pieces too. +1. I love Bach. Of course, I started as a cellist.

Members bassguy Posted July 20, 2005 Author Members Posted July 20, 2005 damnit, im going to have to learn by ear? or buy sheet music?
Members NSPBass Posted July 20, 2005 Members Posted July 20, 2005 Try any symphony by Mozart. See if you can hang. nspbass
Members Retrovertigo Posted July 20, 2005 Members Posted July 20, 2005 sheetmusicplus.com I play the same solos that I play on my DB on my electric.If you're going to consider minoring in music, tabs are you enemy. Learning by ear is a great way to break into ear training and transcribing (also things a music minor/major must do) be sure that if you do learn by ear, write it down in standard music notation. you can print off staff paper from playthebass.com by the way, Fur Elise is a fun one to play on bass...just ask Dark Slide
Members nishich Posted July 20, 2005 Members Posted July 20, 2005 ever tried "The Flight of the Bumblebee by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov"{censored}ing fast and I think you can find it somwhere over the internet this one is for cello http://www.8notes.com/scores/2855.asp?ftype=midi
Members mrcrow Posted July 20, 2005 Members Posted July 20, 2005 Originally posted by bnyswonger "chuckles" tabs for a fretless... tchaikovsky's melodies from his symphonies are pretty slow and melodic pachabel's tune...forget the name G.D.E.B.C.G(on the E string).C.D.
Members Perfessor Posted July 20, 2005 Members Posted July 20, 2005 The problem is some is written way out of range of a bass because the bass parts are for piano. You can buy classical bass music online at bassbooks.com. I bought Three Sonatas for Double Bass and Piano from them. I have a dinamite piece called Sonata no.23 in F Major but can't remember who wrote it, it didn't come out when I made a copy from the library.
Members Perfessor Posted July 20, 2005 Members Posted July 20, 2005 Got it. It Joseph Haydn Sonata no23 in F Major. All of it is in the range of a 4 string bass.
