54Viennese Bass Method

Lesson 10. Thumb Position: Arpeggios on Harmonicswww.viennesetuning.com

Exercise 69. Thumb Position, D major Arpeggios.

Exercise 70. Thumb Position range, A major Arpeggios.

Copyright 2009 by Igor Pecevski

This lesson presents the arpeggio-harmonic style technique that is peculiar to the Viennese bass and not

transferable to the modern instrument. It is based on the unique instrument's convenience to produce an

extended spectrum of harmonics and the Viennese triadic tuning benefit. When combined, these two offer

an extraordinary palette of pitches from which a variety of scale and arpeggio figurations can be formed.

The initial arpeggio exercises will gradually introduce harmonics that reach in to the highest registers on

the common keys of A, D major and F sharp minor. These exercises are designed to cover all pitch

options - including some that may not have been used in the period but are presented for didactic purpose

to demonstrate a variety of options and accustom student to the period way of thinking.

All the harmonics in this lesson are notated with small circles, yet these markings are completely absent

in the period literature. Thus, when facing the original literature one should be able to recognize

harmonics among the unmarked notes and use them when available. You are advised to take as much

time as you need in order to get familiar with harmonic on all strings because this skill is essential

prerequisite for approaching the period music. All the notes, treble clef and Ottava markings are

presented here exactly as they appear in the extant manuscripts.
