CPE Bach: Two Duets for 2 Double Basses (arr. by Michael Kurth)

About the Duets These 2 duets by one of those Sons of a Bach, Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach, are a delightful addition to the bass duo repertoire. Early classical in style, great for teaching and demonstrating phrasing while playing along with a student. Or use them to help yourself figure out how to make one of those split-screen videos on the Tik Tok thingie that the kids are into. Player 1 goes up to E above the first G octave and uses a lot of treble clef. Player 2's range tops out at B above the G octave, with minimal treble clef. The difficulty levels for both parts are comparable to Eccles or Dragonetti. About the Arranger Kurth has been a member of the Atlanta Symphony bass section since 1994.  Michael Kurth thinks most artist biographies are pretentious and boring, and feels a welcome sense of liberation, not to mention mischief, when writing about himself in the third person. He further believes that all artist biographies should include whether the artist prefers cats or dogs,
