Pleasing Pizzicatos – String Quartet with Obligato Double Bass, or for complete String Orchestra
Here is a small work that will almost surely please Double Bass players! One which is for String Quintet or for full string orchestra where the double bass part is the most important of all string instruments – the music is fully in PIZZICATO, sort of in line with the J. & J. Strauss ‘Pizzicato Polka’, but in my case using far more Prokofiev-like harmonies. As such the wit should shine through!

It has just been uploaded onto my web page, having been given permission from the editor Creighton’s Collection, so I am able to share the score with you for free, so as you might be able to browse through the pages – see and download it here:

If you like what you see then the total of the five individual parts will be priced at just €4.00 in all, hoping that this might help with the (considerable) web site costs. So, if you want to have everything, please go here!:

As I always say – Enjoy the music!!
