ALL ABOUT BOOTESINI (an incredible book)

It's strange but very strange.

Usually I don't watch to my website Statistcs because I think there are not so important.

But I've noted one thing: there are very few visitors which download the MOST IMPORTANT BOOK ABOUT BOTTESINI that you can find in the first page about him.

I know, it's only in Italian, but probably visitors have no understood the great importance of it. In example, you can find all the works written by Bottesini but, the more important thing, it's there's written where it's possible to find them (Museum, Editor, University, Conservatory ...). Than it's possible to follow year by year what Bottesini did and played. No other book has ever been written from researchers from this point of view.

Today it's impossible to find a copy of it because it's no commerce.

So I have thought to share it with all double bass players world, because none must have secrets. I'm also a journalist and I have this conception. It's no good for our double bass.

So, don't forget it !! Just to have it in your own library ... it's not so bad !!!

Bye

The "MAGISTER"

The great book realized by FRANCO PETRACCHI. Imho the best book ever written for what concerning the Thumb Position. HR

In Bottesini's opinion these studies were impossible to play. Today it's possible thanks to Franco Petracchi technique. Every study is fingered and bowed by Maestro Petracchi.

A very good challange. HR

A great book with Mr. Petracchi's fingerings

Stefano Sciascia

"The legends about this concerto say it's Nanny's work, not Dragonetti's. This work has nothing to do with other Dragonetti's works and it's not among the Drag's manuscripts in the British Museum's library."

Here maestro Sciascia has recorded in first absolute the " authentic" Concert in Amajor for db. and "strings" (more two bassons and two horns) by Domenico Dragonetti (no.3).

About the other concerto "more famous" I have some doubts about the real composer: surely he was a work by E. Nanny.
