Can anyone recommend me some classical pieces?

Sign in to disble this ad
I'd like to try learn some classical pieces on my Bass that I can easily buy sheetmusic for or find on the net as I need a comfortable solo piece, aswell P.O.T and a bit of Chromatic Fantasy, for when I do some recording for my music course. I saw one on youtube ('Sonata #1 in G minor' ) so I'm looking for recommendations similar to that one; not insanely challenging but pleasing to listen to.

Thanks,
Andy.

Bach's 1st Cello Suite is a beautiful piece. It's fully playable as it's written on a bass that has a low B string. There's a few notes outside of the range of a four-string bass, but you can still make it work:

Thanks, that looks like a nice piece to play.

Does anyone else have suggestions? Some short Sonatas or something.

anything Cello will give you a good basis, look into cello suites, sonatas, etc. You may find Tchaikovsky's pieces to be very bass clef friendly, along with more dramatic composers of opera such as Wagner and Pucinni.
