Domenico Dragonetti
"The Famous Solo" for Double Bass and Orchestra
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.

About the Composer

Domenico Dragonetti
Italian double bassist and composer. In London he invented his special bowing technique; it facilitated an expressive, virtuosic style of playing that was adopted beyond the borders of London, for example by Gioacchino Rossini at the Paris Conservatoire. Aside from challenging solo and chamber music works for double bass, he wrote vocal music and transcribed works by himself and others.
