Description

Koussevitzky's Double Bass Concerto op. 3 has been one of the most popular works of its genre since its Moscow premiere in 1905, thanks to its skillful combination of Romantic melody and sparkling virtuosity. This is no surprise, as Koussevitzky, the virtuoso double bass player, composed the work for his own instrument. Piano reductions were published as early as 1906/07 in Moscow and 1910 in Leipzig, but these contain numerous errors in the solo part, leaving uncertainty about the correct musical text in many passages to this day.

Description

In the late 1850s, when Rossini had largely ceased composing, he created a short elegy for double bass and piano that he titled "une larme" ("a tear"). This modest work later served as the foundation for a more expansive set of cello and piano variations. The significance Rossini placed on this double bass piece is evident in the richly ornamented dedication copy he produced in 1858. This previously obscure source, now located in Russia, has been consulted for the first time in preparing a critical Urtext edition. As with Henle's other Urtext publications for this instrument, double bass specialist Tobias Glöckler has prepared versions in both solo and orchestral tunings, and added fingerings and bowings to the solo part.
