Where can I find a score for cello and double bass? I bought a book a long time ago that has this piece in it (Yorke Complete Bottesini Volume 2), but it is only for solo double bass, and I don't believe the opening cadenza is even correct, unless I am mistaken about the version.
I have a recording of this being done by a cello and double bass on the CD Bottesini: Vol. 3. Is this not the original? I can't seem to find a score for both instruments, just solo double bass. Anyone done this piece before, or know where I can get it?

| | | | Hmmm, that is strange. I just looked through the UC library, and like you said, they only have recordings of the piece. It might take a very intense google search to uncover a publisher if no one else knows off-hand.

I actually want to buy a copy so I can mark up the score and give the score to a friend to play the other part (long term project of course...haha). I'll do an online search, but otherwise I'd like to know where I can buy a copy... |

Now another question, did Bottesini write this version himself, or is it arranged? Like I said, I have another version for solo double bass, with a different cadenza and with a few different sections. Did he write both? I'm just a little curious on where this version came from, and if so, when and where it was performed by him and a cellist... |

Bottesini wrote both versions... the one with solo bass it's called Fantasia I Puritani... and the Duo Concertante (1851 premier by Bottesini and Alfredo Piatti) is much more impressive and elaborated, and you can hear more material from Bellini's opera in the Duo Concertante, but both are Bottesini's hand...
When you get the edition you'll read a nice preface by Mark Starr about the piece. |
