Carter, Elliott: Figment III (2007) 3'
for solo contrabass

World Premiere

Merkin Concert Hall, New York, NY
Donald Palma, double bass / Speculum Musicae


Composer's Notes  
The contrabass has always interested me for its special tone color and range, having written solos for it in several pieces, I decided to write this for the instrument alone.
It was composed during June 2007 for the outstanding performer Don Palma.
