Rhapsody is a magnificent and monumental piece for the advanced bassist. It was inspired by the 1985 Munich Double Bass Competition and Teppo Hauta-aho commented 'I was following the Munich Competition in 1985 because 'Kadenza' was the obligatory piece. I wanted to write a melodious piece to show the audience that you can play long melodies and express many feelings through the double bass.'Rhapsody demonstrates a composer at the top of his game with musical and technical challenges in equal measure and much to explore and enjoy. A great performance piece for both performer and audience alike, exploring a wide spectrum of musical colours and evocative soundscapes.
