Huckerts MIDI files for double bass
All files offered for download have been sequenced by me. They are
meant for training only. If you don't have a
MIDI sequencer (see my software HUMidi)
to manipulate the voices:
in duos I have normally placed the first voice
on the left channel and the other voice on the right channel. You can thus
eliminate one of the two voices by adjusting your balance (pan) level on the
amplifier or mixing console.
Please do not redistribute my files on the internet.
An important note: As I respect the Copyrights I cannot send you
copies of the printed editions. You will find the
original scores in good
music stores.

"Trio VI à deux violons et basse". It has two movements:

of Haydn, Vanhal, Dittersdorf. Published here
with the help of the "Sterkel Society Aschaffenburg (Germany)". The
Zip file includes the score and
the voices in PDF and Capella format. Not very complicated - can be
played by advanced amateurs. The bass can be played by a double bass
