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 Wurzburg 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.
