I find it hard to believe a 4th grader is using a full size bass.

My lil sis has 2 fourth graders in her grade who play double bass. The full size. They need a stool to reach the top

Beautiful piece. Talented kid, If he wasn’t so nervous I bet this wouldn’t sound rigid and the musicality would seep through.

it’s nice to have some nice classical music at the end of the day when you’ve been listening to Soundgarden and Viking Skull all day

Any particular reason this video’s sound is only in the left channel?

This concert is not in EADG, it’s in solo tuning F#BEA (A tone Higher).

Is this double bass concerto accessible through standard EADG double bass tuning or is it another viennese tuning concerto like Dittersdorf Concert no. 2? I played dittersdorf in EADG tuning and it was a nightmare and I’m looking for a difficult concerto accessible through standard EADG tuning. Is this concerto good or can someone reccommend a different one?
