Edition: Paperback Book & 4 CD Package, Bass

Performed by Andrew Kohn

Accompaniment: Gail Kusbit, piano

For the first time, all 30 of Franz Simandl's famous etudes are available with full piano accompaniment for your learning and practice pleasure. These are some of the most important pieces any double bassist will use. Covers all aspects of performance technique, including: attack, bowing, mordents and trills, intonation, dexterity, legato/marcato, leaps, syncopation, cantilena playing, and much, much more!

Includes a newly engraved solo part printed on acid-free ivory paper; as well as four compact discs featuring Mr. Kohn performing each piece; then the accompaniment alone, for your performance.

If a soloist is heard on the demonstration audio clip, a complete reference version is also on the included CD, along with the separate background music for your play-along usage.
