Bottesini/Nanny concerto 1er temps

[irbassist]

So my teacher just gave me this concerto by bottesini/nanny, it is just a one movement concerto. I have yet to find any proof that this concerto exists anywhere else besides on my music stand (there are no youtube videos, or recordings of it anywhere that i have found). i even googled it and despite some library in australia, no one has it. if you have a recording of it or something along those lines please respond back. thanks!

I know there is a B minor concerto in one movement that is a chop version of Bottesini's F# minor concerto.

[irbassist]

thats probably what it is thanks.

Here's the transposed (B minor) version that you have.

Here's a video of the same piece but in the original key, just the first movement... scroll down to 'Obassma recital' and then it's the one called 'Konzert in fis-moll'

Boguslaw Furtok has recorded the piece in the original key, but I think most mere mortals tend to leave it alone cos it's such a beast! Good luck with it.

[irbassist]
