Recital Programs

[Simandl Fan]

To my fellow bassists:
The moderators agree that we need a place for upcoming recital programs, so here we go. Please post the programs of any recitals you are planning. It should be interesting reading for us all.

I'm planning a recital for the end of the winter. Here's what I'm thinking at this point:

- three or four of the Dragonetti Waltzes (not sure which at the moment)
-Koussevitzky, Chanson Triste
-Eccles Sonata


- Pillinger sonata (third movement only, I'd like to do the whole thing, overtone singing and all, in the next couple of years)
- Rabbath's Breise
- Koussevitzky concerto
- Bottesini elegy (as an encore if necessary)

Not set in stone, but that's what I'm thinking about . . . not sure if I want to go solo tuning or not, either.

Looking forward to seeing what others are doing!

Well at this point I am planning:

Beethoven Cello Sonata 3
Korngold Garden Scene
Bach (probably 2 or 5 I am still relearning them in 5ths)
Gliere Tarantella or Sarasate Zigeunerwiesn (haven't decided yet)
