In ensemble playing, the double bass usually takes on the lowest accompaniment voice. It rarely gets the opportunity to take over the melody. The present play-alongs now allow double bassists to play classical melodies in the lower register. Numerous arrangements for double bass have been created that can be played along with the colorfully orchestrated play-along CDs. "Melodies for Double Bass" primarily includes well-known classical works by Bach, Brahms, Beethoven, Bizet, Borodin, Dvořák, Grieg, Holst, Mozart, Pachelbel, Schubert, Schumann, Tchaikovsky, and Vivaldi. Notation format, 56 pages, piano reduction with double bass accompaniment (24 pages).
