Concerto pour contrebasse Editeur: Tobias Glöckler Réduction pour piano: Christoph Sobanski Doigtés cb.: Tobias Glöckler Cadences: Tobias Glöckler Edition Urtext, réduction pour piano, reliure paperback réduction pour piano in Ut et Ré majeur Partie en accord viennois (La-ré-fa#-la) Après les concertos pour contrebasse de Dittersdorf (HN 759) et de Hoffmeister (HN 721), nous ajoutons à notre catalogue un nouveau sommet de la littérature classique pour l'instrument, l'unique Concerto pour contrebasse de Johann Baptist Vanhal. Cette oeuvre virtuose ne nous est parvenue que par une copie du matériel dans la succession du célèbre contrebassiste Johannes Sperger (1750'1812), laquelle soulève un certain nombre de questions du fait des nombreux ajouts que comporte la partie soliste (s'agissant notamment des indications de jeu à l'octave). Dans notre édition Urtext, Tobias Glöckler répond à ces questions avec un texte musical soigneusement préparé pour l'exécution. La réduction pour piano est présentée dans deux tonalités différentes (Ut et Ré majeur), ce qui permet de jouer le concerto avec l'accord de soliste ou l'accord d'orchestre. En outre, une voix supplémentaire en tablature, spécialement conçue pour l'«accord viennois» en usage à l'époque de Vanhal, permet à l'instrumentiste de jouer directement avec la sonorité puissante de l'accord historique, sans réapprentissage fastidieux.

La Romance pour alto et orchestre opus 85 de Max Bruch (1838-1920) est une des principales oeuvres de style romantique écrite pour cet instrument. Composée en 1910 elle est créée en 1911 par Willy Hesse, violoniste concertiste proche du compositeur. La romance est toutefois dédiée à Maurice Vieux, figure éminente de la vie musicale parisienne et fondateur de l'école française d'alto. Nous proposons ici une adaptation originale pour piano et contrebasse d'après la partition orchestrale. La partie soliste est spécialement revue et annotée par Daniel Marillier. / Contrebasse Et Piano

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.

One of the greatest contemporary cellists, Miklós Perényi (b. 1948), appears with great success as a soloist and chamber musician on concert stages across the world. In addition to giving concerts and teaching, he has recently been engaged in composing primarily solo cello works and chamber music. / Contrebasse Et Piano

Zingaresca A czardas-influenced work which is full of the fire and passion of the typical Gipsy idiom. Zingaresca offers much for the advanced bassist and would be ideal for conservatoire or university students who are confident playing throughout the solo range of the instrument. A slow and lyrical introduction leads into a rhythmic and lively czardas these with opportunities to demonstrate both musical and technical prowess in equal measure. Ideal as the final work in a recital and performed many times by the composer. The edition includes piano accompaniments for both solo and orchestral tunings.

His original works combine Czech lyricism and melody with brilliant technical demands, and music from one to sixteen double basses. He writes in a traditional and accessible style, producing music for every level of performer, particularly for the advanced bassist, and his many works for unaccompanied double bass are frequently chosen as international competition repertoire.
