Bowed strings/Double bass Sheet Music

You may hear a lot of names for this music instrument, it’s known as contrabass, bass viol, bass fiddle, even as doghouse bass and what not. It’s the biggest and the lowest-pitched member of the string section of a symphonic orchestra, which enriches the orchestra sounding with deep powerful color. With its disproportional structure, thick strings and the preferable standing position when playing, double bass demands some physical adaptation. The large but not loud bass enjoyed biggest popularity in the 18th century, with Mozart, Beethoven Dragonetti being some of its prominent admirers. And its fame as a solo instrument was introduced by Koussevitzky, the conductor of the Symphony Orchestra of Boston. Unlike many instruments that more or less lost their popularity after the Classic Era, the double bass is enjoying it up to now. You would hear it both in classical works, chamber ensembles, as well as in jazz bands and bluegrass music. Browse the 8900 music scores for double bass at MusicaNeo.
