Why is the double bass unpopular, why is the cello unpopular?

Although the double bass is a stringed instrument, it is relatively unpopular in symphony orchestras for the following reasons:

1.Symphony orchestras generally have only the principal double bass, and there are no opportunities for solo double basses. The double bass is usually used as an accompaniment instrument and less often as a solo instrument.

2.In the process of learning double bass, it is more difficult and requires more time and energy. At the same time, due to the large size of the double bass, it can be difficult for beginners to master.

3.Other stringed instruments in the orchestra, such as violin and viola, are also more likely to attract attention.

However, the double bass also has its own unique charm and value. It not only plays an important role in the band, but also plays an irreplaceable role in jazz, blues and other ** genres. Therefore, it is also of great significance for the learning and playing of the double bass.

Compared with the big lift, the double size is larger, and the position between the sounds is also larger, which means that the fingers should be long enough and agile.

If you want to learn it in two years, the cello.

It may be relatively simpler

To add - the national musical instrument downstairs.

Ah......Say that there are fewer people, and there are not many people. Moreover, national and Western musical instruments.

In contrast, it is much more difficult to learn.

Two years to learn this. If you don't find the right teacher, you probably won't be able to pass the throwing line - as far as the pipa is concerned, it will take a year to lay the foundation. How far you can learn in two years ......

Due to its large size, the double bass is generally difficult for the player and requires the help of a high bench to play. And the double bass is usually not very popular in the audience, and many people don't know about the double bass. Double bass (bre) bass(ame)), a stringed instrument, also known as double cello, double double bass, double bass, is the largest and lowest pronunciation in the violin family'Bowed string instruments.

The double bass is the backbone of the sound in the band, the basis of the basic rhythm. The double bass is about 180 220 centimeters high and has a pillar at the lower end, resembling a cello.

The cello is relatively unpopular among musical instruments, mainly due to the following reasons:

1.High difficulty: The performance skills of the cello are more complex, which requires the player to have a high level of slow sound technique and quality. As a result, there are relatively few cellists, and it takes a long time and is expensive to train a good cellist.

2.The sound is not bright enough: The sound of the cello is relatively weak, not as bright and penetrating as that of the violins and violas. This makes the cello's performance in the ** meeting and on stage less noticeable than other instruments.

3.Not a lot of repertoire selection: The cello has a relatively small selection of repertoire and is not as rich and varied as the repertoire for violin and viola. This leaves cello players and performers somewhat limited in their choice of repertoire.

In general, although the cello is a very heavy and important instrument, it is not as popular as other instruments in the world and the public due to its high difficulty, not bright enough sound, poor repertoire selection and insufficient publicity.

It's still difficult to mention, mainly because of the pitch and the style of music determined by its own timbre. The cello was once rarely understood, and the cello was the instrument with the closest timbre to the human voice, and it was also the most extensive range in strings, so the cello was unpopular.

The cello was once little understood, and the cello was the instrument with the closest timbre to the human voice and the widest range of strings.

In comparison, it is indeed much less than that of the viol, but there are two problems to be aware of, although the base of the violin and the piano is large, most of the levels are average, and they can't last long; The second problem is enrollment, although the number of big mentions is small, but the number of recruits is also small, and the number of small mentions in the major colleges is usually more than 2 times or even 3 times that of the big mention. If the building is an art exam, the 13-year-old relaxed and happy wood has a problem, and the competition is really fierce if it is professional, please choose carefully.

The cello is very good, but it is not very easy to learn, and it takes a lot of perseverance to learn to be good at cello in high school.

As for whether you can come to power in three years, it depends on your creation. But the possibilities are great. I have a classmate who has only studied piano for three years, and he has reached **10 level in junior high school for three years, and when our school has a New Year's party, he was invited to perform a piano solo and played very well.

We often listen to him play the piano and it is very good. Maybe you can too.

But if I were you, I would want to start studying in college, because it takes a lot of effort to learn cello for three years and be able to go on stage, which will inevitably affect learning, and it is a bit difficult for me to take the major for cello for three years.

I started learning violin at the age of 5, switched to piano at the age of 7, and when I was 11 years old, because my sister was learning violin at Nanyi, I planned to let me go too. I hesitated for a long time, and in the end I didn't learn anything well. I hope you can persevere from the beginning to the end.

As for the future of both, the cello is clearly brighter than the violin, and although symphony orchestras usually have two sets of violins and only one cello, the number of people learning violin is definitely several times higher than that of cello.

Of course, if you are not interested in the future, it will be difficult to learn. I am now starting my own business, doing original **, other musicians are easy to find, the most lacking cellist (I am a pianist, I like piano cello duet the most, I dream of meeting a tacit cellist and I improvise with me. )

The differences between a double bass and a cello are: playing method, shape, timbre, stringing, notation, vocal frequency and division of labor.

1. Different performance methods.

When the cello is played, the player gently clamps the body between the knees, and the bottom is supported by a metal rod that can be adjusted in height. Due to the large size of the double bass, it needs to be played standing up, and the piano is placed on the ground, standing or leaning on a high stool, and the plucked string method can produce a rumbling sound, which is often used to describe the sound of thunder or waves, and the effect is best when played slowly, not fast.

2. The shape is different.

The buttons on the headstock of the cello are made of wood, smaller than the double bass, and the shoulders are "rounded". The buttons on the top of the double bass headstock are metal, the volume is about the same as the height of a person, and the shoulders are "slumped".

3. The timbre is different.

The cello has a rich and full timbre, and is good at playing lyrical melodies, expressing deep and complex feelings, the first A string is gorgeous and powerful, full of singing, and the second D string, the timbre is hazy.

The three- and four-string strings (G, C) are deep and loud and can withstand the very heavy sound of the band.

The treble part of the double bass has a delicate and moving sound, which is slightly monotonous for solo playing, but when it is added to the ensemble, the whole ensemble will emit a full acoustic and three-dimensional effect.

4. The string setting is different.

The cello is generally set in fifths, from high to low, A, D, G, C; The current common string for double bass is a four-string fourth, from high to low, which are g, d, a, and e.

5. The notation is different.

The notation of the double bass is basically based on the bass clef; There are many possibilities for notation on the cello, from bass clef to tenor clef to alto clef to treble clef.

6. The vocal frequency is different.

The cello is slightly more frequent. Double basses have a lower frequency.

7. The division of labor is different.

The cello, which is responsible for the bass part and often the sub-melody part, or the flowing harmonic part, is an essential tenor or bass stringed instrument in an orchestra. The double bass is mainly responsible for the bass part, and in addition to playing a role in the orchestra, it has also become an important rhythmic instrument in cabaret and jazz bands.

The double bass and cello belong to the "violin family".

The double bass, also known as the double cello, is the largest and lowest-sounding bowed string instrument in the violin family. It is the backbone of the orchestra's sound, the basis of the basic rhythm, and the double bass is used to perform a little monotonous on its own, but when it is added to the ensemble, it gives the whole ensemble a full sound and three-dimensional effect.
