I've the same question. The only piece for contrabass (BBb or EEb) & piano that I've got is Alfred Reed's "Scherzo Fantastique". A Google search on <alfred reed scherzo fantastique > will find it. Of the soprano pieces I've got, Finzi's Five Bagatelles work surprisingly well played two octaves down (one goes too high for the paperclip's poor alt register, though).

Terje -are you out there? - haven't you got some pieces for Contra & Piano? if so, are any available on the internet?

MERRY XMAS EVERYBODY. We woke up this morning to the first white christmas in years. It's snowing now, and it looks as if it might be the right stuff to make a snowman later today.

A Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays to everyone!

It appears that contrabass.com has survived its domain registration transfer (away from Network Solutions, to Securewebs.com). One less problem to take care of ;-) A few days off work, but my wife has already scheduled just about every waking moment (except for this one). But, with any luck I may at least be able to get a few more of the digests into the Archive. At present, I'm only up to the end of June, 2004...

Enjoy!

Grant
