Double Bass Frantisek Hertl Sonata

[AdaGio³]

I was thinking of buying this after hearing it on Duncan McTier's Sonata CD, I really like the last movement. It reminds me of some kind of pirate dance lol. Anybody purchase this and enjoy playing it?

Buying it? Where from? I didn't think it was in print.

It is a very great piece of music. I prepare it for my graduation recital. This sonata is quite difficult to learn but in my opinion it is worth it. To me this music brings a lot of joy and satisfaction. Simply - play it and enjoy this wonderful music

Can you tell me if this sonata is available for purchase. I also have the Duncan Mctier disc amd love that sonata but was never able to find the music.

From Spring 2006 Double Bassist article on Hertl:
"Sonata (db, pf) (1946)...Recorded by Duncan McTier (Black Box) and Boguslaw Furtok (Zuk Records), it will be republished for both solo and orchestra tuning by Recital Music in 2006."

Just wanted to send an update, there is currently an edition available from Barenreiter, and it is excellent!

I bought a couple of copies last year. It came from Barenreiter Prague and was a pain to order from the USA so I had someone in Germany do it for me. Hopefully it will be easier now. Only a solo tuning piano part came with it.

I have a PDF of a handwritten part I got somewhere. I'd be happy to send it to you.
