By Jason on January 31st, 2007

Matt Heller recently wrote about a lesson he had with Orpheus Chamber Orchestra bassist Don Palma. Mr. Palma was a clinician for the New World Symphony recently, and he was working with the double bassists in this orchestra. Matt compares tempi of different recordings of the Bach 3rd Suite Bourrees and discusses exactly what tempo range makes these movements flow. Check it out.
