Double Bass Greatest Piece ever

[mcnaire2004]

I was bored at school and I have been searching stuff on here to kill time. Even reading stuff I have already seen. A little discussion I had in a Koussevitzky thread were I said it was among the greatest concerto's of all time and it is up there with the Bottesini concerto's.

Well, here are my questions:

What is the greatest piece of all time overall (orchestra, concerto, whatever)?

What is the greatest concerto of all time?

What is the greatest bass concerto of all time?

What is the funnest piece you have ever played(orchestral)?

What is the funnest concerto you have ever played?

Practicing is a great way to cure boredom and kill time at the same time. (or do I mean improve time? )

Yea, but I was at school so I could not practice.

Perhaps you could study?

In school? That is a waste of my time.

How about back to the questions???

Pffft.

There's no greatest anything. And there's no such word as "funnest". Maybe you should broaden your studies.

Your answers to these questions are as good as anyone else's. Perhaps while you're in school on the computer, you can research how conformity develops and why it is looked down upon by the world's greatest thinkers of the past and present.

It was a opinionated question. I just want to see what everyone thinks.

For example:

hat is the greatest piece of all time overall (orchestra, concerto, whatever)? So far to me it is Either Night on Bald Mountain or Romeo and Juliet

What is the greatest concerto of all time?
I havn't heard enugh to judge, Though I love the second Wieniawski violin concerto
What is the greatest bass concerto of all time?
Bottesini No. 1, maybe the Concerto Di Bravura (from what I heard, never actualy heard it)
What is the funnest piece you have ever played(orchestral)?
Strut by Micheal Daugherty
What is the funnest concerto you have ever played?
Probably the Dragonetti

See, this is what I was looking for.

I wasn't looking to conform I was merely looking for people favorites. Notice how I was looking for different opinions.

Fair enough, don't mean to bust your chops. I personally really enjoyed doing Romeo and Juliet. I also enjoyed "Carmina Burana"... not sure where that fits in the grand scheme of things...

See, I have never heard of Carmina Burana so now I have the suddon urge to look it up to see what I think.

I know it's a popular fave, but I've always really loved the New World Symphony. Too cornball, most likely.

I was lucky enough to play the fourth movement of the New World Symphony last year in the CYS. It is one of favorites.
