Černý was an outstanding teacher and taught at the Prague Conservatoire for 31 years (1900-31) and many of the leading Czech bassists at the beginning of the 20th-century were taught by him. He was not a prolific composer and most of his works were written for the double bass, including a Method (1906), 30 Etudes-Caprices (1923), Technical Studies in Thumb Position (1927), 4 Concertos and ten salon pieces for double bass and piano.
Černý studied composition with Antonín Dvořák and much of his music reflects the salon style of the late 19th-century. All his works are melodic and appealing, combining the late-Romantic idiom of Dvořák and Brahms, with Czech lyricism and influences, and he makes full use of the solo capabilities of the double bass.
František Černý died in Prague on 3 September 1940.
Nocturno & Intermezzo is one of František Černý's finest concert works for the double bass combining Czech lyricism with central European bravura and virtuosic flourish.…
Aimed at the intermediate bassist, this is ideal for any bassist with a thorough knowledge of the solo register of the instrument, recalling charming and elegant music of a past age.
“Clearly reminiscent of Dvořák and at times even Brahms, Nocturno & Intermezzo exploits the lyric strengths of the double bass, offering the performer rich expressive opportunities over a wide range of the instrument.” [ISB]
This edition includes accompaniments for both solo and orchestral tuning.
