Double Bass Etudes for Double Bass

[PsionAxis]

Hey guys, im sure this has been made a hundred and one times but
Im just curious as to what you guys spend your time working up. Im looking for some new study material to go to work on and would appreciate any input you guys have to offer.

Thanks again!

It's kinda hard to reccomend material since we don't know what level you are playing at, but I'll give 2 suggestions.

Simandl 30 Etudes
Bille 263

The Bille is very well set up with 2 or 3 etudes in every tonality both major and minor along with the corresponding scales and arpeggios with the tonality.

I have the Simandl Music, but I will look for the Bille, thanks again.

Study material on any level that will add both the 1,2,4 finger system and the 1,2,3,4, fingering system. You are going to have to be familiar with both sooner or later.

I practice the Storch-Hrabe etudes, the Gradus and Parnassum etudes, and the Bach suites. That keeps me very, very busy...

I practice and use 1,2,4 (closed hand) with 1,2,3,4 (open hand) and half step pivoting in both hand positions plus using the thumb positions below the octave as well as above. What's left???
