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.
Gibbons Duet for Two Double Basses - This piece, originally for two viola da gambas, works very well for two basses and is very easy to play.
Vivaldi - These are two of the familiar Sonatas we've all played as intermediate bassists but I've transcribed them for the bass to sound at pitch using solo tuning. They lie surprisingly well on the bass.
Ravel Pièce en forme de Habanera
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.
