Music assessment.

I'm a highschool jazz player and i need to perform a piece of music from 1600 to 1900 for a music assessment in a couple of weeks. The other bass player in my class is doing one of Bach's cello suites so does anyone have any idea of any other piece i could do which wouldn't be too difficult to prepare ASAP.

Homoresque by A. Dvorak is within the defined parameters.

Marcello sonata?... there's 6.... they come in a pack... pick a slow and a fast from one of them and you should be set

Eccles Sonata. http://shop5.mailordercentral.com/le...tinfo/INT1712/ (1st and 4th movement make a good mix)

It's really hard to make a good recommendation without having an idea of skill level. How high can you go comfortably? How comfortable are you playing fast with a bow?
