Five short works utilising the orchestral range of the double bass. Each has its own character and message to convey, employing technical and musical challenges in the lower range of the instrument.

"...a wealth of performance techniques to study...Each piece is complete in itself, and the set is full of interesting challenges: do try it." [ESTA News & Views]

"Teppo Hauta-aho's Typically Teppo 2 is particularly interesting because the pieces within it serve as good introductions to techniques common to many of Hauta-aho's more advanced pieces, such as left-hand pizzicato, glissandi, strummed chords, and so forth. A young, intermediate-level bassist, perhaps motivated by watching performances of Hauta-aho's more difficult compositions, could handle the material very well and be instantly satisfied by their ability to perform this composer's 'typical' and appealing techniques."
