Double bass practice routine through composition

Andrés Fernández Subiela

About this exposition

This paper defines how to shape our practicing routine in a way that also makes us work on creativity and not only performing/technical aspects. This research first explores the repertoire to understand where the creativity could come from, and how the composers approached it. The second part is an experimentation of the creative process applied to a double bass routine, to demonstrate how it affects the creativity. One outcome is, based on the specific qualities of each piece, that this process will allow double bassists to work primarily on creativity. This means being able to develop a practical and efficient way of approaching certain issues on the instrument, as well as discovering or rediscovering a part of our musical being that we have not paid attention to on a regular basis. Another outcome is realizing the relationship between the instrument and our hearing/internal hearing. Working on composing with, as well as, without the instrument will allow the player to create a stronger mental visualization of the instrument and its sounds.
