This week's Contrabass Conversations episode features an in-depth analysis of the double bass orchestral excerpts most commonly requested at auditions.  Double bassist (and regular Contrabass Conversations guest and ho-host) John Grillo discusses each of these excerpts--stylistic considerations, differences in articulation and bow strokes, and suggestions for effectively learning them--and then performs them.  I believe that this project will be a highly valuable resource for bassists worldwide, and I'd love your feedback on this project! Check out all of John's previous Contrabass Conversations appearances here.   Excerpts covered: Beethoven Symphony No. 9 Beethoven Symphony No. 5 Brahms Symphony No. 1 Brahms Symphony No. 2 Shostakovich Symphony No. 5 Mozart Symphony No. 35 Mozart Symphony No. 39 Mahler Symphony No. 2 Schubert Symphony No. 9 Strauss Ein Heldenleben Britten Young Person's Guide Verdi Otello
