    Double Bass Chamber Music featuring Double Bass

    Prokofiev wrote a quintet for oboe, clarinet, violin, viola, and double bass. It's a fantastic piece, with lots of fun and challenging moments for the bass. The 4th movement is almost entirely doublestops, and lots of upper register playing as well.
