Contrabass: Register & String Colors
Click the video to play and pause, or use the spacebar. Mouse over the score and click to choose matching video and commentary.
Please note: All pitches sound an octave lower than written. A single phrase can be played with a variety of fingerings, changing color as it fits on different string assignments. On the contrabass, playing this phrase using only one string requires a shift; playing it on adjacent strings is less dramatic and more poised.
