Teppo Hauta-aho: A Sad Fantasy in memory of Eli Goren for double bass duet

  About the Composition A Sad Fantasy in Memory of Eli Goren, subtitled Duettino III, is an amazingly inventive and evocative addition to the advanced duo repertoire and was composed in 2001. The two basses play almost entirely independently of each other, creating a rhapsodic freedom and soundscape which will be unique at each performance. It is an inspired and exotic fantasy with an amazing panoply of sounds and textures. About Teppo's Compositions Teppo Hauta-aho has written a wealth of duets for double bass, many published by Recital Music, and is a past master at writing music that offers far more than simply technical prowess. "Teppo's bass duets are worth a second, third and fourth look. His music inhabits a sound world completely different from everyone else and he has followed his own and unique compositional path throughout his career. These are impressive and inventive duets which are in a direct line to the grand duets of Bottesini."David Heyes Eli Goren (1923-1999), a viol
