Bach, capriccis by Dall'Abaco, and études by Dotzauer. It is a follow-up to my first album, BASS SOUNDS, which included 17th century music for solo cello and the first Cello Suite by J.S. Bach. Both of the albums were self-produced with no fundraising. All proceeds in album sales and downloads go directly to the artist.

About BASS SOUNDS: Evolved After exploring 17th century pieces by Gabrielli and Degli Antonii in her first BASS SOUNDS album, Davidson discovers new repertoire in BASS SOUNDS: Evolved. In contrast to the darker, bass line writing of earlier works, 18th century pieces begin to shift in style and aesthetic. Capriccis by Dall'Abaco, written after Bach's suites, use a higher range and are written in a more melodic style with harmony. Dotzauer's études, or exercises for solo cello, showcase the cello as it transitioned into the classical period and out of the baroque. In the middle is Bach's Second Cello Suite in D minor, to give listeners a chance to hear this popular work in the context of similar repertoire.
