Enjoy!

Almost forgot - and Donald Erb's "Five Red Hot Duets for Two Contrabassoons" (T. Presser). Both this and Daniel Dorff's "Sonatina d'Amore" are available at both J.W. Pepper and SheetMusicPlus - find the "classical search", and search for "duet" and "erb", or "sonatina" and "dorff". Each one is under $10.
Enjoy!

Subject: Re: [CB] Simon, Garfunkel, and contrabassHere's another question about 'The Boxer': what is the deep bass instrument under the li-li-li's? I thought it might be a tuba, but it sounds a little reedy. It's playing G#1 and F#1, assuming the key is B. Of course, in the pre-CD / DAT days, the pitch of songs heard on the radio could vary as much as a whole tone from what the artist intended. Usually sharp - playing the tape a little fast also reduced run time.
