The famous Golliwogg's Cakewalk is the final piece from Debussy's cycle Children's Corner which consists of 6 miniatures for piano, written for his daughter in the years 1906-1908.The style corresponds to that of ragtime, a dance which was in vogue around the turn of the century. In the middle section, he parodies several times the beginning of the opera Tristan and Isolde by Richard Wagner with whom Debussy had a rather ambiguous relationship. The present arrangement now allows musicians to play the popular movement in a version for melodic instrument with accompaniment.

It is a bit of a paradox: one of Dragonetti's favorite pieces and also his showpiece, “The Famous Solo,” originally for double bass and orchestra, is largely unknown today. This cannot be down to the virtuoso work itself, but is more likely due to the unclear source situation with its different versions. In this edition Tobias Glöckler presents Dragonetti's autograph arrangement for double bass and string quartet for the first time. For those who would like to study the orchestral version, there is also a piano reduction, based on a contemporary model. Using this edition, the “Famous Solo” can be performed as needed in the solo and orchestral tuning – piano scores and quartet parts in e minor and f sharp minor are also included.

Peteris Vasks from Latvia, who is known for his atmospheric pieces for string orchestra “Cantabile”, “Musica dolorosa” and “Voices”, is concentrating increasingly on chamber music. He was commissioned to compose a ten-minute solo for double bass for the 2003 ARD music competition in Munich. As Vasks himself studied the double bass, it is an effective virtuoso piece well suited to the instrument which awaits the performer, and there is what is probably a very unusual surprise at the end: the player sings (or whistles) a simple waltz melody as a serenade to accompany himself.
