Subtitled 'Duettino for double bass and triangle, this fun and accessible piece was written for the young English bassist Eva [Mae] Cowlishaw, and the musical material is derived from the letters of her name.
Aimed at the good beginner, there are musical and technical challenges in the lower positions of the instrument, 'accompanied' by the triangle. A range of techniques are employed to introduce the bassist to various playing styles - pizzicato, arco, double-stops, left-hand pizzicato, harmonics - and this will be effective both as a study piece and for recitals.
