Some of the most famous pieces for double bass include Giovanni Bottesini's "Gran Duo Concertante" and "Elegy," which showcase the instrument's lyrical capabilities. Additionally, Serge Koussevitzky's "Concerto for Double Bass" is a staple in the repertoire, celebrated for its technical demands and expressive depth. Other notable works include Franz Simandl's "Sonata in E Minor" and pieces by contemporary composers like Edgar Meyer, who has expanded the double bass repertoire significantly.

Why do bass clarinets play in orchestras?

Bass clarinets play in orchestras because orchestras sometimes play pieces that are scored for bass clarinet, or have bass clarinet parts in it. One example of a piece like that is The Rite Of Spring, by Igor Stravinsky. It has significant solos and duets by the bass clarinet, and "the show cannot go on" without the bass clarinet. But most pieces, do not have bass clarinet parts, so the bass clarinet is rarely seen in orchestras today.
