Double Bass Bruckner - Te Deum

[jaff]

Just starting to practice this one. In the 1st mvt. (allegro) there are a lot of slurred triads - and repeating 5ths. Should I use a hooked bow for these? Thanks.

I think we seperated the 8ths into groups of two, which puts the bow change on the repeated note. Maintain the gesture of the longer slur while making the bowing practical, etc etc
