Vito Liuzzi "Il Contrabbasso" or "The Classical Double Bass"

ORCHESTRAL EXCERPTS

Naturally it's impossible to add in this section all doublebass orchestral excerpts. These are some examples and during the time I will try to add the ones more important expecially when you have to do an audition.

A strange visitor

YOU CAN FIND SOMETHING HERE

... just an observation !!

When we talk about "orchestral excerpts for double bass", today we know that there are hundreds of books or collections that cover the symphony and opera. Now also supply the CD I think midi through which you can study by following the sound of a piano or another instrument. You can vary the speed and so on.
But nobody will tell you if your study has done well conducted. You will only run at an impressive speed a solo from "Pulcinella" , well-tuned. But if in your life you've never heard live or on a CD 's entire symphony, you will not be ever clearer vision of your interpretation. So, imho, is always better to listen to what we should do and not blindly trust the Midi files, sometimes very misleading.

Let's listen to what we have to play ... then will study in another dimension. IMHO

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.
