🎻 Learning Schubert’s Erlkönig (D. 328) on Double Bass
A deep dive into one of Schubert’s most dramatic works — exploring the technique, phrasing, and storytelling behind Erlkönig, adapted here for double bass.

Before the play-through, I share the challenges of performing this piece and explain why, while I’m no Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, I’m inspired by his legendary interpretation and narrative power. Translating that vocal intensity to the double bass means tackling pacing, tone, and the relentless galloping rhythm head-on.

🎵 About the music:
Schubert wrote Erlkönig at just 18, setting Goethe’s poem about a father racing through the night to save his son. The piano’s constant triplets imitate galloping hooves — a texture I try to capture here on bass.

🎃 Coming on October 30 — I’ll be performing this piece again (hopefully better!) in my Top 10 Classical Halloween video, part of my BassOWeen celebration.
