This is a preview lesson from Orchestra Chops Vol. 2 by Joseph Conyers, out now on Discover Double Bass. Joseph is teaching this excerpt: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Symphony No. 40 in G Minor, K.550, Movement I (pickup to mm. 115).

In this lesson, Joseph tackles the opening of the excerpt from Mozart's great Symphony No. 40. There's a lot to deal with in just the opening phrase, and Joseph explains how the words 'It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a Mozart' is an easy way to develop elegant phrasing in this gesture. He also helps with balancing the weight of the bow, which string to play on, and how to develop direction in this phrase. To help you follow along, you can download the free sheet music of the excerpt (with bowings) through this link: https://discoverdoublebass.com/lesson...
