Sonata in G minor

By Henry Eccles

The baroque era has a lot of good music for bass (even though the modern bass wasn't around back then). The Eccles sontata has become a common part of our bass repertoire at my school. The slow movement chalenge your tone and dynamic abilities, while the fast movements (especially...

the 4th) are to "show off" with. The piano arrangement is not bad either. Good piece for any classical bassist.

When my mom and I were listening to this recording by Edgar Meyer, my mom was in tears after it finished because thats just what it does to you...awesome song, a little hard but not an overwhelming challenge for a rising bassist
