&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;''[[Der Kontrabass]]'' is a German play by Patrick Süskind (1949-). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The original text ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Written as a monologue in one act in 1980, the peice premiered in 1981. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is a narration by a double bass player, speaking to the audience in his small sound-proofed apartment and drinking beer. He tells anecdotes about the instrument's history and actually playing, he reveals more and more of his past and present rather miserable situation and the image of a lonely man who realises that his performance is mediocre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Translated into English as ''[[The Double Bass]]'' by Michael Hofmann and published in 1987 by Hamish Hamilton. &lt;br /&gt;
