    The cello sounds powerful and energetic, and the bass sounds so smooth and gentle, so therefore I like both.

      I have to say I think it’s mainly the style of the players that is causing that effect. The bassist is very good but he’s using about 25 percent of the power that bass has to offer, but the cellist is going all in.

    As a bass player myself, I am inclined to think the bass was better. I really enjoyed the combination of the cello and bass in this piece.

      Is it hard to play? I'm just starting to learn. It's intimating when the instrument is taller than you.

      ​@@Mars-mg7qx well basses have concertos and they also can be solo because in some songs like Paul hindemith syphmatic metomorphis there is one double bass and the rest is a brass and wood wind band I know I'm late but it's always nice to inform someone on the correct truth have a good day if see this

    I always saw the violin family as being like dogs. The small ones (violin; like chihuahuas) are agressive, loud, and hyperactive. The medium ones (cello; like, say, golden retrievers) are also active but gentle at the same time and warm and friendly. The large ones (bass), the ones who look scariest and most intimidating, are actually the most gentle ones.
    Right?

When the cellist went too low, the double bass was not able to go any lower to double the cellist, or play one octave lower, so he kicked to make the illusion of that sound or something or maybe it was just for fun

    • @matonano
      @matonano 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      This. Both are beautiful sounds, but the warm tone and fuller resonance gives a certain intense and mournful character to the cello. Sort of like the duduk’s velvety sound compared to other similar instruments.
      The bass was great, but the notes felt less full. They’re correct, but flatter sounding-dryer, I guess you could say. In the end, that subtlety is intentional, I believe. It’s intended purpose is usually to compliment loads of other instruments rather than solos.
