Double bass

On Tuesday, September 29, 2015, I attended a student ensemble orchestra concert at UTSA called "The Natural Realm". It was a free concert that took place in UTSA 's recital hall, which is located in their art building. The recital hall was a good sized room, not to big or small. It started at 7:30 p.m. and ended around 8:40. The orchestra concert was conducted by Eugene Dowdy, a music professor and director of orchestral studies and conducting at UTSA. It was a tremendous performance filled…

well as the innovations that the period brought. The Romantic period was revolutionary for a number of reasons, one of these being the huge increase of the orchestra. The bass section received an upgrade with the introduction of valves and the tuba. The wind section received the cor anglais, bass clarinet, piccolo, and double bassoon. The string section also expanded in order to…

Would you be more happy being rich and educated in life? Do you believe that your level of happiness is correlated with the amount of success you have? Well Joe Pinsker who wrote the article, ¨Why So Many Smart People Aren't Happy” presents his opinion which is that being successful with numerous accomplishments is not a factor in someone's long term happiness in life. I agree with the author´s mindset because of both the evidence he includes in the article and the personal evidence I have in…

Overhanging set the bass scaffold behind and to the treble side of the tenor extension region. This was a change of before instruments whose bass strings were an unimportant continuation of a solitary string plane. With the bass strings in the higher plane it was now possible to have a much narrower cabinet at the “nose” end of the piano. Thanks to over-stringing, the transition from unwound tenor strings to the iron or copper-wrapped bass strings was optimized. Érard invented the double…

Other instrument types that can be heard are the violin, the viola, the double bass and the cello. The brass instruments used in the Allegro ma non troppo, un poco Maestoso, or the first movement would include the horn and the trumpets, and from the percussion instrument group the only instrument that was seen being used was the…

The piece alternates between a calm sound from the violins and violas and a brief melody from the cellos and double basses as in previous movements, but unlike the other movements, instruments such as the cymbal, triangle, and the trombone. What truly separates this final movement from the previous ones were its use of Ode to Joy by Friedrich Schiller, as well…

there's usually at least one special finesse' bait the the fish is really interested in; even if it doesn't hit it. Now you can refine the finesse' part a step further. As another example, let's say the big brute pushed a wall of water behind a 10" Double Teaser Tail topwater bait, but again, it didn't hit. Immediately switch to a much smaller version of the same bait style, such as a standard sized Tallywacker, or the even smaller PopTail. Quite often this is what it takes to trigger the…

Andante indicates a three part form of an A - B – A which begins with an introduction of 10 bars. In the introduction, the harp and the clarinet portray arpeggios of fifths, which is taken over by the solo violin, and the same pedal (B flat) of the bass clarinet. The arpeggios can be heard in the solo violin presented in bars 11-37. The score carries the Berg’s indications, stipulated in terms of modulation and the highlight of the expressive moments of the change of tempo. The orchestra and the…

myself, and what I need to work on to succeed in the future. In 2012 I started sixth grade at Eisenhower Middle School. I was excited to be out of Elementary school because I wanted a more advanced curriculum and I was excited to start learn the Double Bass in orchestra. I also thought it would be nice to go to seven different classes instead of having to learn everything from one or two people (regular and gifted teacher). In sixth grade I often left…
