For my Grade 5 double bass exams at school MANY years ago, I had to play the Petite Suite for double bass (+ piano) by Frederick Boaden.  It was a rather lovely little piece, so if anyone knows if a recording (probably private) has ever been made, I should be extremely grateful! I have been humming it for the past couple of decades....!
