    You are a true inspiration, Lauren. Thank you. I'm 72 and just learning to play an Electric Upright Bass I made. I see now that the acoustic Double Bass is magnificent in the hands of a master such as yourself.

    I've been waiting so long for you to perform this peice. It's my favorite peice

    Incredible!! I felt like crying half way through, you're such an inspiring bassist Lauren! I can't wait to finish preparing this piece for auditions

    This is beautiful. I am a singer who is learning bass. The temple that I sing at for High Holidays has just told us that we are no longer wanted after singing there for 23 years. This will be the Elegy I learn to honor those memories.

    This was just magnificent! I played this for competition last year, which really helped me to learn thumb position and harmonics. This was wonderful!

    • @LaurenPierceBass
      @LaurenPierceBass  Před 6 lety +4

      Oh how funny - when I first learned this piece in college, I learned it for a competition as well! Thanks for watching :)

    Oh! Revitalizing connection of Lauren's soul and the voice of that exciting romantic double bass...

    What a beautiful bow hold, along with a magnificent use of bow speed. You truly are an inspiration.

    Just so beautifully played. I love that you are smiling. Too often we take ourselves way to seriously. Your vibrato is outstanding in expressiveness. Really sounds like a sweet violin a lot of the time.

    the most beautiful piece ever composed for double bass, played in a beautiful, emotion filled way. thank you!

  • @darranlambe7610
    @darranlambe7610 Před 5 lety

    Such a beautiful piece. Having not played myself now for over twenty or so years I still listen to my instrument and are amazed to hear how wonderful it sounds being played so so well. Thank you.

    The bow changes after 3:50 were SO SMOOTH i am speechless!

  • @danielkhan1
    @danielkhan1 Před 4 lety

    I played this for Solo/Ensemble because of you, and seeing this after practicing for several months is so surreal. There are so many little details I glanced over before like how your shifting sounds so natural, or your vibrato being so clear. I'm only like 30 seconds in and already feel the need to practice this piece again. Keep doing you, it's obviously working.

  • @pierreargoul4518

    Cette élégie est charmante et jouée d'une manière exquise. Les aigües et les graves sont très expressifs. Bravo!

  • @noellejones7164
    @noellejones7164 Před 5 lety +13

    that moment when the whole song is played on the g string
    edit: this was a compliment!! playing notes this high on a bass is extremely hard, and this woman is doing it without sounding scratchy!

      +Pure Flamboyance Johann Sebatian Bach has a piece nicknamed Air on a G String, I don't hear anyone making fun of him. He is, after all, the greatest composer ever.

    I am learning this piece of music for my senior recital coming in the fall. Hearing you play Elegy motivates me to continue practicing to improve. I have only been playing for 1.5 years, spending countless hours trying to learn and appreciate as I go on this journey. Thank for this magnificent work of art.

  • @b6yce
    @b6yce Před 6 lety

    I’m a begginer bassist (playing for about 5 months) and I really love this song. I pretty much have the basics of the bass down, such as Vibrato and other mechanics, so when I looked at the sheet music, i was confused on why it switches from Bass clef to Alto. Do songs like this for bass often do that? And if so does that mean I should probably learn alto clef?

    • @jakebuchman7729
      @jakebuchman7729 Před 6 lety +1

      LinkoNetwork it's actually bass clef to tenor clef. It is not uncommon for solo bass parts and some timed even orchestral ones to change clef quite a few times so we don't have to read an obscene amount of ledger lines. This piece would be quite a challenge for some one only playing for 5 months. Good for you for trying.

    How helpful is having that amount of inlay markers? Do they stay consistently helpful? Are they actually inlayed in permanent or are they decals?
