"Thankfully life as double-bass player has become much more interesting in the 20th century. Finally there are serious solo works and musical perspectives that can animate your life as a double-bass player.
By experiencing ensemble playing, improvisation and new playing techniques in the latest solo literature, technical and musical demands of all epochs and styles can be mastered in a more playful and – above all – pleasurable way." (Uli Fussenegger)
