Thanks to
its imaginative richness
and sterling writing,
Hoffmeister's Double Bass
Concerto No. 1 has
advanced to the rank of a
popular audition
concerto. But when
compared with the
transmitted sources, the
previously available
first edition of 1966
proved to be filled with
errors. Tobias Glockler,
double-bass player of the
Dresdner Philharmonie,
now presents a reliable
Urtext in this edition.
Through his competence as
an instrumentalist, he
even goes considerably
further and offers
various performance
possibilities: the solo
part can be played not
only in solo and
orchestral tuning, but
also in the historical
Viennese tuning. The
C-major version, which is
offered on hire, allows
performances in
orchestral tuning. The
orchestral material in D
major (sales material) is
suited to the other two
tunings. A beautiful and
easy to read score,
elegantly laid-out and
with illuminating and
informative preface
notes. This concerto is
among our most beautiful
classical concerti,
lyrical and inventive. It
is a great pleasure to
see our classical
repertoire appear in such
critical editions. (Rob
Nairn in Bass World).
