SOLO TUNING See RM722 for Orchestral Tuning The 'Dragonetti Concerto' was first published in 1925 by Alphonse Leduc in Paris as No.23 of Edouard Nanny's 'Les Classiques de la Contrebasse'. For many years no one questioned its authenticity, but as more research into Dragonetti's original works for double bass was made, concerns began to arise. Many of Dragonetti manuscripts survive in the British Library, thanks to Vincent Novello who donated them in 1849, three years after Dragonetti's death and on Novello's retirement to Italy, but there is no original manuscript for this work. As bassists began to edit and perform a wide range of Dragonetti's works it became clear that this concerto bore little resemblance to any of his other pieces. The work does, however, have many similarities to Nanny's Concerto for double bass, also to his other solo works and even studies from his Method. Eventually most people came to the conclusion that this work is not an original work by the great Venetian bassist but is by Edouard Nanny, and in the style of the late 18th-century. Having said that, this is still a charming and evocative work which has much player and audience appeal and is very easy on the ears. Many of the challenges for the soloist are technical and, almost a century after its first publication, it is still as popular as ever. Published in 1925, the first movement was performed at London's Wigmore Hall on 15 April the following year by Victor Watson (double bass) and Sidney Crooke (piano), and was described a 'Contrabass Concerto by Dragonetti-Nanny. ERRATA: Piano part: page 8 (1st movement), bar 87 - final chord of bar in right hand should be D/E/G# - a dominant 7th chord in A major Edouard Nanny was an important French double bassist and teacher, also composing and transcribing many works for double bass. He was born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye on 24 March 1872 and he studied at the Paris Conservatoire with Professor Verrimst, also teaching there from 1920-1940. He performed often as a soloist, also working as an orchestral bassist with many orchestras such as the Paris Symphony Orchestra, Concerts Lamoureux and the Orchestra de l'Opera Comique, and in 1901 he founded the Henry Casadeus Society of Old Instruments, chaired by Camille Saint-Saens, and intended to revive the works from the past centuries. Nanny's Method for double bass is still in print, over 90 years since its first publication and both volumes contain a wealth of excellent technical studies and exercises which are as relevant today as they were in the 1920s. His other volumes of studies are mostly out of print and Recital Music plan to reprint some of his orginal works for double bass, transcriptions and educational music to keep alive the name of Edouard Nanny into the 21st-century. Edouard Nanny died in Paris in 1942.

In the late 1850s when Rossini was composing only for his own private pleasure he wrote a little elegy for Double Bass and Piano that he entitled “Une Larme” (“a tear”). Its theme also servedas the basis for a larger-scale set of variations for Cello and Piano. The importance that Rossini ascribed to this short piece for Double Bass is demonstrated not least by the fact that he made a richly ornamented dedication copyof it in 1858. This hitherto little-known source is in Russia and has now been consulted for the first-ever time for a critical Urtext edition. As in Henle’s other Urtext editions for this instrument the Double Bassspecialist Tobias Glöckler has prepared a version in solo tuning and orchestral tuning and added fingerings and bowings to the solo part.

Piano reduction-Following Dittersdorf (HN 759) and Hoffmeister (HN 721) Johann Baptist Vanhal and his sole Double-Bass concerto add a further highlight to the classical Bass literature in the Henle catalogue. The virtuosowork was transmitted only in a copy of a part owned by the famous Double-Bass player Johannes Sperger (1750 1812) and found in his estate which raises a few questions on account of the many later additions in the solo part(especially concerning the octave transpositions). In this Urtext edition Tobias Glöckler proposes a solution to this dilemma with a musical text that is outstandingly well-prepared for the performing artist. ThePiano reduction is printed in two keys (C and D major) which allows for performances in the solo and orchestral tuning or at will. Moreover an additional part written in fingering notation has been specially designed for usewith the 'Viennese tuning' customary in Vanhal's days. It allows players to use this resonant historical tuning immediately without tedious retraining.

Cette oeuvre virtuose ne nous est parvenue que par une copie du matériel dans la succession du célèbre contrebassiste Johannes Sperger (1750?1812), laquelle soulève un certain nombre de questions du fait des nombreux ajouts que comporte la partie soliste (s?agissant notamment des indications de jeu à l?octave). Dans notre édition Urtext, Tobias Glöckler répond à ces questions avec un texte musical soigneusement préparé pour l?exécution. La réduction pour piano est présentée dans deux tonalités différentes (Ut et Ré majeur), ce qui permet de jouer le concerto avec l?accord de soliste ou l?accord d'orchestre. En outre, une voix supplémentaire en tablature, spécialement conçue pour l'«accord viennois» en usage à l'époque de Vanhal, permet à l'instrumentiste de jouer directement avec la sonorité puissante de l?accord historique, sans réapprentissage fastidieux.
