does anyone have a copy of this piece? all i was able to find was a full orchestra set on JWpepper for $60.

to be clear, not the famous A major concerto we all know... the must less popular, actually-composed-by-dragonetti G major concerto.

theres one recording that seems to be all over my google searches,

http://www.amazon.com/Double-Bass-C...8&sr=8-2&keywords=dragonetti+G+major+concerto

i've heard that recording many times. great playing, and a great piece. always wanted to find a score. never have.

can anyone help??

thanks,

T

^^

that's all i was able to find on JWpepper as well.

isin't it strange, with so little music out there that theres no accesable edition of this piece?

maybe just to us, being bass players.. small market...

oh well. right now $60 for a conductors score is definitely not reasonable. back to IMSLP to find freebies to play..

thanks.

Well, it's conductors score + parts. I think 60 is okay for that.

yeah, thats true. i guess i was just hoping to find a piano score + solo part. on amazon (and pretty much anywhere else) the A major concerto goes for $12 or so + shipping.

i guess $60 isint the largest sum of money in the world. it would certainly be a cool piece to learn.

surprised nobody here seems to have played it.
