This is where I started with Bach chorales on fretless bass. The first chorale in the Riemenschnider book:
on.soundcloud.com/kBpy6NoyvWCn...
on.soundcloud.com/kBpy6NoyvWCn...
001 - Aus Meinen Herzens Grunde (BMV 269)
From the Riemenschneider book.
I'm working on one chorale per week and using them to learn how to play fretless bass.

I work at NIH. The fear among staff is palpable.
"It felt like all functions of our job had just been completely stripped away, like the system had been completely crippled."

The first movement of Hindemith's "Drei Ieichte Stücke" for cello and piano. This was an interesting piece to work on - I generated the piano part by entering it into Finale and exporting the audio.

In the past I've sporadically worked on some jazz standards. I aim to do more of that this year.
