In 2009 the topic will be: “The Double Bass in the 19th Century”
From Beethoven recitals to Wagner’s Parzifal, from the Trout Quintet to Otello, and also from the “Schrumm-schrumm-Bass” to the most challenging virtuoso works, double bass playing in the 19th century saw some exciting developments with regard to innovations in the construction of instruments and the establishment of playing techniques. The topic is further explored in lectures, teachers’ and participants’ concerts and in the teaching sessions. Of course many other aspects of double bass playing are discussed besides this special topic. The closing concert is organised by the participants. The Double Bass Kaleidoscope is aimed in the first place at music students and professional musicians. There are 40 places available for those wishing to participate actively. Passive participation is also possible, which could be of interest to ambitious lay people. Owing to the anticipated huge demand it is recommended that you register in good time.
