MÍŠEK Sonata in E minor (1.& 2. mov.) Božo Paradžik (double bass) & Maria Sofianska (piano)

Adolf Míšek's most performed composition, with powerful first and epic second movement in this video.
Sonata for double bass and piano No.2 in E minor, op. 6
0:02 Con fuoco
7:25 Andante cantabile
Recorded in Müllheim (D) on May 31, 2021
Artists:
Božo Paradžik, double bass
Maria Sofianska, piano
Of course we would have prefered to upload whole this massive sonata (ca 29 min) at once, in one single video. But it is not easy to find besides "the real life" enough time for the video editing studio. But stay tuned here for the continuation: with another video with 3rd and 4th movement, we recorded them too and would love to upload them ASAP 🤩👌 and it shouldn't take another 19 months, like it took until this realease of the first two movements.

Listening to you has really helped me with accuracy of shifting, and actually finding a coherent and expressive way of connecting the notes within a musical line rather than just aiming to "hit the right notes".

Great to hear about that 🥰 yes, that is more about the music. The other thing is pure mechanical / technical task

[@richardshaw9775]

Beautiful performances from both players. Sensitivity and strength, and confident, heart-felt musicianship. Bravi and thank you!

[@jdiazdelagarza]

Beyond beautiful! Cannot say much more that could precisely describe this performance, i loved it!

[@bozoparadzikcom]

That makes me very happy to hear 🤗 thanks for these words

[@user-kn1gb7dy3e]

What a perfect performance, perfect intonation, perfect processing, how happy I would be to have such delicate musical processing😊😊😊

[@jonheaton3384]

Thank you. Beautiful playing

[@cascanicoff5763]

Great artistry, as usual, and a tone to die for.
I learned double bass for ca. four years and my tone was, to the very last day, just bad. Therefore I really admire the great sound achieved by players like Bozo, Lauren Pierce or Mikyung Sung.
Please more like this. I makes me wish to come back to bass

Thank you 🙏

No conocía a este compositor. Me recuerda mucho a Brahms pero el despliegue del contrabajo es espectacular. Gracias.

[@kiwonlee553]

I started learning cello last year and I don't think I can afford to learn double bass as well for now but I definitely wanna try it in my life. Thanks for the amazing performance :)

I am absolutly in love with the piece and your playing. The intonation and phrasing is just perfect. I dont know how you are able to play this perfect with piano if I play with piano my intonation sucks on recordings but if i play the piece alone it works perfectly can you tell me maybe why this is happens to me?

[@bozoparadzikcom]

It is a well-tempered tuning system of piano. You just need to practise regularly alone in a room with the piano. Block the right pedal in pressed position with something heavy enough (a real piano chair has enough weight) and use its long sustain to your benefit 🤗 (play a chord on piano with harmony you need and fix all you play with finest adjustments)

[@antonvogel7369]

Ah that makes sense thank you very much :)

Dear Bozo, your playing is amazing as usual; have a terrific new year, btw what is your db?

[@simonsemaan5043]

This piece is beautiful, and your delivery is beautiful as well! I want to buy the sheet music for myself to learn, but I was curious if this performed in standard tuning or solo tuning? Thanks!

[@bozoparadzikcom]

😊 oh, thanks. It is originally written this way, for solo tuning.

[@simonsemaan5043]

@@bozoparadzikcom thanks, Bǒzo!

[@shiroisho]

Particular version.

Yes... we all humans are particular and unique
