Rossini
for cello and bass
Hi,
I need some help finding a
piece I heard about by Rossini for solo cello and double bass with
orchestra.
The conductor of our ameteur orchestra (Symphonia de
Pons, France) saw this on a concert programme. He's a big Rossini
fan but didn't know the piece. Neither do I. Could this be a special
arrangement rather than an original orchestration?
If you know
what Im talking about, I would be grateful for more information:
publisher etc. degree of difficulty of solo parts grade-wise, as
we'd be keen to play the piece if its suitable.
With thanks
for any help,
Helen

Re:

I wonder if your conductor friend is
mixed up. There is a Rossini Duo for cello and bass. There's piece
for violin, bass, & orchestra by some Italian bassist on a
Rossini theme. Otherwise it must be some arrangement he saw.

Gary Karr has a recording of it on
his CD Music for Violoncello and Doublebass. The one I really like
though, is Duo by Dragonetti. That is so
beautiful!

Rossini
Duetto
I have played this piece several
times now and have a lot of fun every time. This is truly a
delightful little piece of chamber music and I highly recommend it
to any cellist and bassist. It is also quite a crowd-pleaser when
played well.

Re:

One of my funnest symphonic
experiences was playing the last movement of the Rossini Duetto with
Karr when he performed the Dragonetti and Koussevitsky concertos
with us in Mexico. what a character, and what character. I suppose
he has done this with just about every orchestra he's played
with...always invites the principals to get into the act.

I took a class from him when I was
in college (just a one-day thing). He's the best. Very funny, very
nice, and made even a poor player like me feel good about what I was
doing. Not at all a music "snob".
