Brahms Intermezzo No 2 Op 117 arranged for Bass

I love playing this intermezzo on piano, and noodling around I realized that at least the main themes translated to bass well, so I set out to transcribe/arrange it in early 2021. It’s written for doublebass but works on bass guitar equally well. It is written for pizzicato (especially the double-stops) but I’d be interested to hear if it works for somebody with bow.
