Par NANNY. Complete method for the Double Bass & Part 2 is the first of a series of two, created by Edouard Nanny, a French Double-Bass player, teacher and composer. Conceived to acquire correct technique and a good sonority, the Complete method for the four and five stringed Double Bass & Part 2 is perfect for intermediate players. Including scales, exercises and small studies, this second volume follows on Part 1, also available at Alphonse Leduc. Edouard Nanny (1872-1942) had internal recognition as a composer during his lifetime and composed two concerti and additional methods such as 'Twentyvirtuoso studies', among others. / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / Méthode / Méthode / Contrebasse

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.

Par VANCE GEORGE / COSTANZI ANNETTE. It is rare in music pedagogy that something truly revolutionary comes along. Progressive Repertoire is the first English language method for beginning Double Bass to incorporate the innovative division of the Bass fingerboard into six positions, developed by renowned French bassist Fran?ºois Rabbath in his three volume Nouvelle Technique de la Contrebasse. Mr. Vance has created a method that introduces these revolutionary ideas in a progressive manner using familiar folk and classical material to produce studies and pieces that will appeal to novice Basses of all ages. In addition, a Compact Disc is included with each of the primary books containing all the music performed by Fran?ºois Rabbath, with Elizabeth Azcona-Hartmark, piano.Progressive Repertoire for Double Bass will introduce American teachers and students to the most important techniques developed for the instrument./ Méthode / Contrebasse

Revisione di Piermario Murelli. Par BOTTESINI GIOVANNI. Giovanni Bottesini (1821-1889) is certainly the most famous of all double bass virtuosi; his compositions are an essential pillar of the literature on this instrument. His Metodo, published in 1870 by Ricordi, is remarkable for the exceptional beauty of its studies which, with effectiveness, good taste and imagination, develop an extraordinarily modern pedagogical vision. For this reason, on the bicentenary of the composer\'s birth, it seems most opportune to re-propose the studies in the method, appropriately fingered according to the current system, which is different from the one used in Italy in the mid-19th century. These short pieces not only help the student to acquire an excellent technique in a short time, but they are also extremely useful to better understand the instrumental language of Bottesini; in particular the second part, constitutes an excellent propaedeutic base for the study of his famous pieces./ Etude / Contrebasse
