Two short dances of cheerful character in three-eighths time, the first somewhat quiet, the second lively. Very suitable as etudes for students in the first semesters. While the piano part in both dances is relatively demanding, the first dance is easy for the double bass player, the second then a bit more difficult. The pieces become really virtuosic when they are played sounding (one octave higher).
Range: Dance 1: E - g'; Dance 2: G - h'
