(Farewell to St. Petersburg Double Bass/Piano Reduction). By Gavin Bryars (1943-). String. Piano reduction with solo part. 46 pages. Schott Music #ED12932.

A CBSO/Royal Festival Hall Millennium Commission, Gran Duo was first performed on March 8, 2000 at the Royal Festival Hall in London by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Sir Simon Rattle. The score is a dialogue between the two orchestral families of woodwind and brass, each with their respective material. Their initial characters, equating to the poetic stereotypes of masculine and feminine become progressively blurred and androgynised during the course of the work as larger sound masses give way to chamber music-style sub-groupings and individual instrumental solos. The wind-only scoring of the work posed various compositional challenges. The composer has stated that if no one is playing, nothing is heard, so the illusion of sustained sound has to be created without the support of a string section, Similarly, clear attack and accentuation have to be carefully sculpted, as there is no percussion to help articulation.

Thanks to its wealth of invention, elegant workmanship, and technical and musical challenges, Franz Anton Hoffmeister's Concerto No. 1 has emerged as the preferred concerto for double bass auditions. Tobias Glckler's edition leaves no wishes unfulfilled: the double bass part appears in solo and orchestral tuning with piano reductions in D major and C major. Moreover an additional part, written in fingering notation, has been specially designed for use with the Viennese tuning customary in Hoffmeister's days. It allows players to use this resonant historical tuning immediately without tedious retraining. Finally, a separate part is also provided for the solo violin appearing in the second movement.
