ALL about GIOVANNI BOTTESINI (1821/1889)

[vitoliuzzi]

Dear collegues,
in all of the world there's only ONE book about Giovanni Bottesini and it's italian. Not the one of Lisei in which there are some mistakes but the one of Gaspare Nello Vetro. Inside of it you can find ALL but really all about Giovanni Bottesini whth all the notices you can want about "Il Paganini del Contrabbasso": cronology, all compositions and old recordings, all life with an incredibles number of details and so on. 190 pages written with very little characters. I know, it's only in italian but it's the most great book that we have that we have about this incredible man.
For me it's impossible to translate it. But with translator it's possible to understand the main sense in the most of languages.

Well, I decided to upload it on my site http://www.vitoliuzzi.com (go to Bottesini's pages and then you can download it freely ... absolutely no virus or other else).

I hope you enjoy it.

My best regards and happy new year.

Vito Liuzzi

If I get a virus from this I'm going to track you you down and detune a couple of strings on your bass and not tell you which they are!

You can tune these things?

Thanks, Vito. Seems nifty.

Well, you know ... usually I tune my strings once in a year!
It's better for strings .... you know, it's easier to played detuned that tuned, so why do I have to tune my strings?!!

Happy year

What is better - tuning in summer or winter?

Tuning limits your creativity.
