Jacob Warren has just released his transcription of the Debussy Cello Sonata, which was the main piece on his competition-winning program at the 2023 International Society of Bassists Convention. This transcription is a notable new addition to the double bass repertoire and a great opportunity to explore the music of this great composer.
We talk about the history of this piece as well as the challenges and solutions for mapping this piece out on the bass. We also listen to several selections of Jacob’s new recording of this work and break down the specifics of these sections.
Jacob’s transcription is available in our store here.
