Par ROSSINI GIOACHINO. Duetto Per Violoncello E Contrabbasso. Composed in London near the end of 1824, the Duetto is one of the few chamber music works regularly performed today. It is a light and charming composition yet requires experienced performers. The work was often performed in the 19th century by the Double Bass virtuoso Domenico Dragonetti (called ‘Il drago’ or ‘Paganini of the Double Bass’) and we know that Rossini was acquainted with and consulted Dragonetti on matters dealing with the instrument. Bärenreiter’s critical edition is the only currently available publication which is based on Rossini ’s autographand not on the first edition. - Urtext based on the “ Works of Gioachino Rossini”. - First critical edition of the work. - Reference score and separate parts. - With a foreword (Ger/Eng/Ital) and Critical Commentary (Eng)./ Répertoire / Violoncelle ou Contrebasse

Dragonetti's Concerto in C major is a charming and accessible three-movement work for the good intermediate bassist. The first movement is longer than the other two movements combined and is similar to Cimador's Concerto in G major in terms of structure and level of difficulty. This new edition for double bass and piano is in orchestral tuning and includes two double bass parts - one edited and corrected by David Heyes and a second copy which is a newly typset version of Dragonetti's original wrong notes and all! The music is lively and rhythmic dramatic and lyrical and this new edition brings this long forgotten work back to life. There are few technical challenges butmuch to enjoy particularly in the orchestral register of the instrument and this is ideal as both a study work and also for the concert hall. Few dynamics were included in the original manuscript and editorial ones have been added in brackets []. Wrong notes and missing accidentals have been added which can be compared between the two solo parts and a new piano accompaniment which is both lively and supportive has been created for this first edition.

It is a bit of a paradox: one of Dragonetti's showpiece, 'The Famous Solo?, originally for double bass and orchestra, is largely unknown today. This cannot be down to the virtuoso work itself, but is more likely due to the unclear source situation with its different versions. In this edition Tobias Glöckler presents Dragonetti's autograph arrangement for double bass and string quartet for the first time. / Contrebasse Et Orchestre A Cordes
