TESEO Plays Fryba - Suite Im Alten Stil - Complete

#HansFryba#TESEO#SuiteInOldenStyle#DoubleBass
Hans Fryba (1899-1986) was an Austrian double bass virtuoso and composer.
Fryba grew up in the workers' house in Neugebauten in Marienthal, south of Vienna. He studied at the k.k. for six years. Academy for Music and Performing Arts (since 1919 State Academy) in the Austrian capital, his teacher in the main instrumental subject was Eduard Madenski, who at the time was considered a comparatively progressive musician and was particularly committed to the orchestral music of Richard Strauss, whose double bass voices at the beginning of the 20th century were sometimes still considered "impracticable".
As early as 1922, after completing his studies, Fryba became a member of the Vienna Philharmonic, with whom he played for three years. In 1925 he followed a call to Athens, where, in addition to his position as principal bassist in the orchestra of Mégaron Mousikís, the most important concert hall in Greece, he also held a professorship at the Royal Conservatory.
In 1929 Fryba finally auditioned for the position of first double bass player at the Orchester de la Suisse Romande in Geneva. He received the post and spent the next four decades in this ensemble. The orchestra's excellent international reputation brought the bassist into contact with many of the most respected conductors and composers of the time, including Igor Stravinsky and Wilhelm Furtwängler, many of whom were downright enthusiastic about the technique and musicality of Fryba. So wrote Thomas Beecham in January 1947:
I can truthfully say that Hans Fryba is one of the most remarkable players on his instrument I have known.
Hans Fryba's oeuvre as a composer is not extensive: only three works were published during the musician's lifetime, namely by Josef Weinberger's publishing house. Since this publishing house is based in the German-speaking area (namely in Vienna, Zurich and Frankfurt am Main) as well as in London, all of Fryba's works have a German and an English title Enjoying popularity among double bass players.
In addition to the published original compositions, according to concert reviews, there seems to be at least one other work by Fryba. This is an arrangement of Ludwig van Beethoven's Seven Variations on the theme “Men who feel love” for double bass (the Beethoven Variations on the aria from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera Die Zauberflöte were originally composed for cello).
Fryba requires the so-called solo tuning (F sharp - B - E - A, i.e. a whole tone higher than the tuning usual in the orchestra) for all of his compositions, as was practically without exception for such pieces in the follow-up to Giovanni Bottesini throughout most of the 20th century Music was used. Since the suite and the arabesques are works for unaccompanied bass, this is at best significant due to the special, brilliant timbre of the solo-tuned bass; both pieces can also be interpreted on a "normal" instrument without any problems.
Just as the suite was published in 1954, the concert etude is the technically least demanding work of the three named, but thanks to the supporting piano accompaniment, it is an effective performance piece for aspiring virtuosos, which is now often performed by advanced music students. The concert etude falls back loosely on the form of the sonatina, the four movements are called: Allegro moderato (2/4 time, D major) • Andante cantabile (3/8 time, G major) • Allegro (6 / 8-time signature, A major) • Tempo I (2/4 time, D major), where the last movement is essentially a reprise of the first.
