The Purpose

The main purpose of the ABP Support Store is to generate funds in order to cover the maintenance and development costs of the Academic Bass Portal. The proceeds from the sales of the featured editions will be applied directly toward the maintenance and development costs of the ABP, and your purchases will thus directly support further advancement of this portal. You may have noticed that ABP does not allow online advertisements, and such a policy is in place in order to preserve the professional appearance and functionality of this portal. However it is hoped that the funds generated by Support Store will alleviate in future a need for random ad distractions that are becoming ubiquitous online.

The editions featured in the Support Store are not intended to represent a commercial venue, but are rather a helping hand in supporting the vision of Academic Bass Portal as stated on ABP Home Page.

Editions Introduction

The following editions present arrangements of the popular classical pieces that most bassist may instantly recognize. Some of these pieces may already exist in arrangements for bass, while some other may be available here for the first time. However, they are all chosen for their likeability and recognizable melodies. These pieces may be well suited for collegiate juries, recital programs and certainly encore pieces. The difficulty level of these arrangements varies, but is generally suited to the collegiate level.

The editing applied in these compositions was minimal from the point of altering the original melody and accompaniment, yet the pieces are nevertheless arranged to underline the unique capabilities of double bass. Some of these pieces are designed to match well the available harmonics on double bass and such an arrangement was implemented in order to underline the soloistic capacity of bass in the same way that some compositions of Bottesini and Sperger feature harmonics.

The editing articulations have been minimized, and where present these are often printed discretely in brackets and only as a suggestion, while leaving freedom to the performer to find their own fingering and bowing solutions as well.

Lastly, should you find any of these compositions enticing for a public performance that may result in a decent audio or video recording, please contact ABP and we will be honored to list the link of your performance within the entry area of each composition and certainly as an honor to your purchase and invested effort.

For all other inquiries about ABP Support Store please be welcome to write us at ABP Contact mail.

Sincerely,

Igor Pecevski

Editions Content

For the sake of utility the featured editions are designed to offer both Solo and Orchestra Tuning piano accompaniments within the same package. Each title therefore consist of a single PDF document that presents the Solo Part, Edition Cover Page (which you may print according to your wishes), Piano Accompaniment in Orchestra Tuning and Piano Accompaniment in Solo Tuning. The printing options are left to the user since the editions are not formed in a ready-to-print booklet pamphlet, but rather allow user a flexibility to print only the section that they wish to use.

Likewise and given the global reach of this web portal, each edition is offered in two standard page formats which are the Letter Format for US users and the A4 Format for Europe and the rest of the world. Please choose the page format you wish to order as that particular design will be then be delivered to you. Otherwise the edition content is identical to both page formats and the only difference is in stave spacing, which is optimized for each format.

The following list presents the individual content of each pdf package that you will receive with your order.
