James Haydn Waud was a leading London orchestral bassist of his day and was one of the first professors of double bass at the Guildhall School of Music.

This characteristic piece has been out of print for over 80 years and this new edition offers a cantabile, approachable and accessible miniature for the intermediate bassist.

The Heritage Series
The history of the double bass features many player-composers who created a wealth of music for bassists of all abilities. Recital Music publish a wide and eclectic range of music by these important figures from the history of the instrument, particularly from the 19th and early 20th-centuries, and more works are in preparation. Some names are well known today, others almost forgotten, but each made a valuable contribution to the repertoire of the double bass and helped create a unique repertoire which deserves to be performed.
