Oops! For Excerpt #2, I meant to say measures 265-266, and measures 297-300. (Math was never my strong suit...but I DO know about compound meter!)

Joabe Araujo hi Brazil
Hello Friend! Could you point me to a method of typing the fifth string tuned to Si (B)? it's because I have a 5-string double bass ... (I'm a beginner) thank you very much!
Greatings From Peruuuuuuuuuuuuuu
very deep that response of your bass, bass very harmonic ...!
5:37
His instrument is made in ?
It's made in Italy in 1805 by Joseph & Antonio Gagliano
@@DrMarkMorton woooooow is amazing ¡¡¡¡
Can you tell me a resin that matches these strings?
Nyman's rosin is the best.
@@DrMarkMorton thank you so much friend ...!
What kind of strings are you using?
D'Addario Kaplan. They are the way to go for just about any bass.
@@DrMarkMorton Cool! thank you very much!

I much prefer a double bass to not use vibrato but rather concentrate on perfect intonation, dynamics, and phrasing.
Yes, in many ways, I agree with that aesthetic, but the expectation in orchestra for music of the 19th century is almost constant vibrato. For better or for worse, a bass player will not get past the first round of an audition without vibrato.
DrMarkMorton maybe in North America but not so in Europe (the birth place for much of the music we play).
DrMarkMorton vibrato for the violins, violas, and cellos but I disagree for the bass. The majority of music we play was written when we had gut strings to play on and the wrapping we had wasn’t very good. Composers wanted an organ like tone for the bass, not something that emulated the cello. Vibrato in the lower register for a double bass can really distort the pedal tones of an entire orchestra. Here in Europe (Cologne Symphony) we do not use vibrato unless it is a lyrical passage in the mid to upper register.
@@Anonymous-rp4hn we don’t use gut strings now so vibrato is fine to use lol
@@gregoryf4186 not if it is out of tune.
Why does he play ff and fff with such a relaxing sound⁉️Tchaikovsky demands a more magnificent soul tone here☝️
If you need to explain what a compound meter is these students shouldn’t be playing this excerpt for an all state audition. Idiots guide to all state auditions, really hope not. Culture above all if you please.
Alas, ours in not a perfect world we live in. (Take a look at the comment from Jorge Girbau from Argentina.)
Again, and I repeat “culture above all” as self explanatory as it is. This is classical music, not a personal acknowledgement agenda.
Sorry but, you are nobody to say that
Dont gatekeep. You'd be amazed how good a player can be while having some gaps in their understanding. One can be able to play compound time signatures perfectly well without necessarily knowing their prescribed name; they're not mutually exclusive.
