Double Bass and Piano. Composed by Camille Saint-Saens. Edited by Tobias Glocker. Sheet Music. Paperbound. Henle Music Folios. Pages: Score = V and 5 * DB Part = 1. Classical. Softcover. 13 pages. G. Henle #HN730. Published by G. Henle (HL.51480730).

In spring 2002 the double bass made its première appearance in the Henle urtext catalogue as a solo instrument. The Hoffmeister Double Bass Concerto is joined by the “Elephant,” Camille Saint-Saëns's enchanting miniature from the Carnival of the Animals. This “hit,” one of the few double bass compositions attractive to learners and seasoned musicians alike, now appears in a Henle urtext edition for double bass in solo and orchestral tuning, with piano parts in F major and E flat major.

Good first piece
Very fun piece, a nice introduction to classical literature as a Jazz-bassist primarily.
