Track 10-12 of the CD "cello - bass duets".
Jacques Offenbach: "Duo No. 1 in G major, Opus 50".
In the instrumentation for violoncello and double bass, the duo sounds more transparent than its original for two cellos, since the different timbres of cello and double bass make the individual parts more clearly distinguishable from one another. At the same time, the double bass plays the second part almost entirely sounding, i.e., its part is notated an octave higher than the original and thus also quite demanding for the double bass player, since it is almost always to be played in the thumb position.
The sheet music is available here at PRObass Musikverlag under order number C 125.
violoncello: Paul-Gerhard Wiebecke
Double bass: Andreas Wiebecke-Gottstein
