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.

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

Par POSTEL-VINAY EMILIE. Ecrire une méthode de contrebasse, quand on enseigne, est certainement chose incontournable... Pourtant, peu de professeurs se lancent dans cette aventure, car c'en est une ! Il faut pour cela avoir la foi, ce besoin de transmettre ce que l'on sait. C'est le cas d'Emilie Postel-Vinay. Sa méthode est classique et, aussi, inventive. Alors, je ne doute pas de son efficacité ! Sylvain Wiener (Professeur au C.N.R. d'Aubervilliers - La Courneuve, Assistant au Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris, Contrebassiste de l'Ensemble Orchestral de Paris La contrebasse a beaucoup évolué au fil du temps. D'instrument d'accompagnement, elle est devenue soliste sans pour autant renier ses origines. Ses graves sont les piliers harmoniques d'un orchestre, et leur puissance sait affirmer le juste rythme ! Le répertoire s'est considérablement enrichi, entraînant ainsi de nouvelles difficultés techniques. Cette méthode s'adresse à tous les débutants, qu'ils soient très jeunes ou un peu moins, durant les deux ou trois premières années du premier cycle. Elle vise à donner dès les premiers exercices le plaisir de jouer. La progression se veut ludique. Chaque leçon se découpe en trois parties : - La première, la plus technique, se compose d'exercices pour la sonorité et l'agilité des doigts. - La deuxième propose des duos. L'élève, dès le début, joue avec son professeur. Cela lui permet d'accéder à la musique de chambre, de se former l'oreille, d'entendre son professeur jouer une partie plus difficile que la sienne, ainsi que de se produire assez rapidement ! - La troisième partie est principalement constituée de pièces accompagnées par le piano. A cela s'ajoutent quelques devinettes et des chansons populaires... Emilie Postel-Vinay / Niveau : Débutant / méthode - études / Méthode / Contrebasse
