“Each one of us has to make a pact with the devil. The passage in Philip Glass’s 'King Lear Overture' is a cool challenge. We jump back and forth between barring, playing open strings, and mechanical fingering. It’s not unlike Strauss’s use of ties — where he might tie an entire bar together — or the vicious slurred passage for bass in the finale of Beethoven 9, or the two pages of non-stop triplets in Wagner’s 'Lohengrin.'” — Principal Bass Timothy Cobb For more information visit http://nyphil.org Subscribe at http://www.youtube.com/user/NewY...
