Wagner

Die Meistersinger von Nuremberg Overture (Orchestral Excerpt)

Taught by renowned double bassist 

Travis Harrison

One of the greatest pieces of music to study to be introduced to the daunting world of orchestral excerpts, Travis Harrison takes you on a journey through Richard Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nuremburg Overture. This excerpt is fantastic for beginners, and demands a comfortable but strong sound, basic bow strokes, and application of rhythmical and pulse integrity in an idiomatic way that few other excerpts can provide on the double bass.
