Double Bass Iancu Dumitrescu - Medium III sheet music?

[Zach Rowden]

Does anyone know anything about this piece and or how to get the part for it? I emailed the composer through his website but no response.

I may have heard that Dumitrescu passed but the internet thinks not, Grillo is dead for sure, though. So it may be hard. It is entirely possible that these are oral collaborations between Dumitrescu and Grillo. Amazing music, though! There are 4 or 5 albums with Dumitrescu's bass pieces on them.
Anna-Maria Avram is his wife and worked closely with him, she has a bass piece. I had the score to it, but I am not sure where it is. You might be able to track down some of the other performers - maybe the Hungarian bass players like Ion Ghiță:

Thanks Damon! I'll look in to Anna-Maria Avram's work and maybe try to contact some other people about some Dumitrescu scores!


Also if you happen to find that score of the Avram piece let me know, or should I just email her about it? It's the piece AXE 7 right?

That is it. If you look at this which is presumably an Ion Ghita composition - it sounds much like the Dumitrescu:

Medium III is all Grillo sounds. It really seems he may be collaborating with his soloists.
When you watch the Dumitrescu I posted, you don't see him starring at a score - he is looking at what he is doing.
