Double Bass Shostakovich Adagio recording

#2
Take a look at measure 38. Not bad, but work on pitch, and using a sexier vibrato. There's not a whole lot of dynamic in your performance, and the section starting at 39 could be much more singing. Have you heard a recording of this for cello solo with orchestra?

Isn't there a version of this released for the ISB competition a couple years back? I believe the part was written down a step, for solo tuning. Anybody still got a copy of that?

Thanks! I agree with your comments. My teacher has a copy of the edition for solo tuning, but didn't have a piano part around. I had the edition for cello and had the piano part, so I decided to go for that one. Honestly, I kind of like this key (sans solo tuning) better, even though the other key works with harmonics more.

thanks a lot for listening.

Ancient post, but every shift should be accompanied with a respective movement of the bow. If you watch the left hand and bow, they don't always match. If one moves to a higher pitch up the string, the bow should move higher as well.

Have you done the Karr "vomit" exercise?
