Page 2 - Microsoft Word - Gliere four pieces IC cover

In the first decade of the twentieth century, Reinhold Glière enriched the double bass repertoire with four highly Romantic, richly expressive works written for his friend Serge Koussevitzky. They were originally published in 2 volumes, the Intermezzo and Tarantella as opus 9 in 1902, and the Präludium and Scherzo as opus 32 in 1908. It has become common for bassists to perform all four pieces together, with the later works preceding the earlier, and this convention is followed in this transcription.
