Gounod — Ave Marina (2 Double Basses and Piano): B&B Production — PDF Sheet Music

B&B production was born during the pandemic with split-screen music videos that mainly features a formation of two double basses and a piano. The repertoire is heterogeneous and suited to the tastes of an audience that can vary from experts to amateurs. The group received awards with the Audience Prize and the third prize in the “Split Screen” category of the International J.M. Sperger Competition for Double Bass. B&B Classic was born with the possibility of playing with StringVirtuoso and producing more “classic” videos.
