8 double basses - advanced - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q6922 Composed by Bertold Hummel. This edition: score and parts. Double-Bass Library. Downloadable, Score and parts. Op. 66. Duration 23 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q6922. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q6922). This four-movement piece was designed as a double quartet and, as the title implies, is like a little symphony. The varied sound is the result of harmonics, glissandos, pizzicatos, fingerboard and instrument body tapping, solo and ensemble playing. The musical palette ranges from lyrical to jazz, from pathos to absurdity. 'Sinfonia piccola' was premiered by students of the Würzburg Music Academy at the First International Double Bass Competition and Workshop in 1978 on the Isle of Man. * This work is part of the Hummel Bass Ensemble Project.
