There are a lot: Bottesini has a few, Bartok wrote some violin duets that have been transcribed for cello, so you end up playing them at cello pitch. Look around. |

I'm kidding, you obviously mean good music. Actually I'm pretty proud of it, I think it sounds good, but it's probably way too easy for all you classical bassists. I'm a jazz bassist who also loves classical music so I wrote a classical/romantic style bass duet. I can't even play it very well haha.

Kind of hard to find but you still may be able to get it from Alain's website or Audiophile Imports. |
