Luis Guillermo Pérez: Moments Musicaux for unaccompanied double bass
About the Composition Dedicated to the memory of František Pošta Composed in 2018, these five short and engaging miniatures are overflowing with character and imagination and were composed to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of František Pošta (1919-2019) the following year. Playable in any order, there are musical and technical challenges for the intermediate bassist, primarily in bass clef, and are ideal for both study and recital use. These pieces, lasting one minute each, were composed as technical and musical studies (Chromatic Moment, Spiccato Moment), always thinking about my students and playing exercises for both hands that can, at the same time, have some musical melodic interest. Romantic Moment and Happy Moment reflect different emotions or moods, and Pizzicato Moment is a rhythmic study contrasting the the style and sound worlds of the other pieces. The suite uses a register of just over three octaves, including natural and false harmonics. [Luis Guillermo Pérez] Ab
