Double Bass NY Phil Bass Section bowings, fingerings available

New York Philharmonic | Digital Archives

The NY Phil digital archives make available the actual bass section parts.
For example, I searched for ‘Beethoven 9 bass’, then clicked on ‘parts’ and found the actual part. Often it is marked by the section principle.

A useful free resource. When I play a new piece I can use this as a start for bowings.

You can also view scores annotated by Bernstein and other music directors. (I think at least one of LB's Mahler scores has an "I-heart-Mahler" bumper sticker pasted in the frontispiece, if I recall correctly.) The first thing that struck me when viewing the orchestral parts was how very clean and sparse the markings were. Very professionally done.

Yep-the players who marked those parts were well trained-no bowings unless there were necessary deviations from standard performance practice, which everyone had been taught. I've seen bass parts where almost every note has a bowing indicated, usually when the person doing the bowings is an upper string or non string player.

I like how Beethoven's name is [mis]spelled: Beethoven, Ludwig van

I think it is a Mahler Grooves sticker! Mahler Symphony 6 "the tragic"
