April in G for Contrabass Duet

Patrick Neher – April in G for Contrabass Duet

April, 2020, was supposed to be a beautiful month of creative endeavors, concerts, and flowering trees. Instead it is a bit dreary – never the less, out of pathos comes enlightenment and cheer. Patrick Neher has composed a wonderfully fun duet for double bass players, April in G. The virtuosic composition uses the entire range of the bass (of course) and explores passionate lyricism, professional technique, and expansive chordal textures. The piece is truly fun to play and to listen to, but requires a dedicated level of playing (or for those aspiring to be professional).

A challenging and fun new duet for the repertory, April in G is ready to be performed!
