Bass Solos from the Music of Haydn
Dragonetti Duetto per Violoncello e Contrabbasso - I discovered this piece in Dragonetti's own hand at the Boston Public Library.
Vivaldi Cello Sonata in A minor - This is the familiar A minor Sonata we all played as intermediate bassists but I transcribed it for the bass to sound at pitch using solo tuning. It lies surprisingly well on the bass.
Ravel Pièce en forme de Habanera - You can choose to do this in solo tuning or orchestral tuning (depending on how much fun the pianist wants to have). I'm sure there are piano parts out there that work in both keys.
Bottesini Elegia - Thomas Martin graciously allowed me to upload an alternate take of the famous Bottesini Elegy. The piece appears on Vol. 2 of his Bottesini Series.
