Description

Composer: Eric Ewazen
Format: Sheet Music
Instrumentation: Double Bass and Piano (or Harpsichord)
Having been a cellist (and occasional bassist) before beginning to compose, Eric Ewazen brings a special warmth and affinity to the lower instruments, and a hands-on feel for low strings. This early work was composed specifically for double bass with harpsichord, offering a transparent texture and neo-Baroque flavour. Now available in a piano adaptation (and with more expressive dynamics), Sonata No. 1 is a three-movement recital work that brings the best of several worlds.
