  • Hungarian Dance #5 by Johannes Brahms.
    Arrangement for Double Bass and Piano by Lev Weksler. Performed by Lev Weksler and Shlomo Leiderman. I believe that we are the first to perform this on Double Bass and Piano.
    This Musical Piece originate from my "Popular Classical Miniatures" collection. I used a 5/8th solo Bass, with an extended fingerboard and high solo Corelli strings.

He makes this song, which was actually written for high strings, sound easy for a bassist, and I can tell you it's not.

    I seldom venture into thumb position. As Clint Eastwood once said in a movie- " A man's got to know his limitations." Thankfully, Mr. Weksler doesn't seem to have many. I just sit here and watch this, smiling broadly. Thank you, Lev, for sharing your gift.

      I think that it depends on how you train and how your teacher teaches you. I've had bass lessons for 8 years and still practise about 3 hours a day but the training never got me somewhere because my teacher hold me back. So the lessons got waisted. Now I follow lessons from someone else and there is really good process 🙃.

      +Lev Weksler Hello . I play the violin and you have inspired me to learn the double bass as well . I feel sad that quite a few number of people play this beautiful musical instrument . By the way can i know what is the red thing attached to the bridge of your double bass ?

    • @levweksler1819
      @levweksler1819  7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Natasha, thanks a lot for your kind words. On the one hand, I am glad that I have inspired you learning to play the double bass, and on the other, I feel very responsible for your inspiration. Most bass players are combining their love for the bass with a practical benefit, i.e., good paying job in the orchestra (I am not against the art of orchestral performing), but my technique is designed for a solo playing (High solo tuning, extended fingerboard, personally developed technique). Of course, it is possible to combine both, but it would take extra efforts. The red thing attached to the bass is the tuner.

В Москве был один человек, претендовавший на звание контрабасиста-виртуоза - Родион Азархин - но то был крайне специфический случай. У него были гигантские руки (акромегалия) и играл он далеко не так безукоризненно чисто и совершенно. Как случилось, что мы о Льве Векслере ничего не знали? Видимо из-за его специфического жизненного пути: родился и жил в Житомире, играл с братом-аккордеонистом в ансамбле, потом уехал в Израиль, потом переехал в Нью-Йорк. Необходимо написать о нем книгу - контрабасистам она будет крайне интересна!
