Product Specs
Perpetuum Mobile is published with piano accompaniments for both solo and orchestral tunings and is a virtuosic tour de force for the advanced bassist.
The Heritage Series series The history of the double bass features many player-composers who created a wealth of music for bassists of all abilities. Recital Music publish a wide and eclectic range of music by these important figures from the history of the instrument, particularly from the 19th and early 20th-centuries, and more works are in preparation. Some names are well known today, others almost forgotten, but each made a valuable contribution to the repertoire of the double bass and helped create a unqiue repertoire which deserves to be performed.
Czech bassist, composer and conductor Gustav Laska, was born in Prague on 23 August 1847 and died in Schwerin (Germany) on 16 October 1928. He studied double bass at the Prague Conservatoire with Josef Hrabe from 1861-67 and also studied music theory with Johann Friedrich Kittl and composition with Josef Kreijci. After completing his studies Laska became a member of the Kasel orchestra in Germany and he travelled extensively between orchestras, giving virtuoso solo performances in Europe and America, and he was also the regular Principal Double Bass at the Bayreuth Festival.
Laska was a fairly prolific composer, writing many virtuosic works for double bass alongside symphonies, operas, vocal, piano and choral music.
