Eccles Sonata in Solo Tuning for Double Bass


One of the pieces I played for my recent recital on Gary Karr’s old bass was the Eccles Sonata. As I was preparing it I did a Google search to find a piano part in solo tuning. I hunted all over but could not find a solo tuning bass version for sale, so I decided to create one.

I am surprised that there isn’t a solo tuning version of this Sonata for double bass out there already considering how frequently this piece is played. I am putting a link to my version here. Feel free to download this and use it. The bass community needs a solo tuning version of this piece!

    No problem. It’s surprising that there isn’t a solo tuning edition out there for Eccles given how often it’s played. Let me know if there are any problems or errors with it. Thanks!

    Hi Jason, the link doesn’t seem to be working “No shared files/folders found.”. Is there any way of me getting it off of you?

    Cheers,
    Robin
