Double Bass Dragonetti Waltzes

[Bill Bentgen]

Does anyone know of a source for the Dragonetti Waltzes? Lemur and other sources show them to be out of stock.

Dragonetti's 12 Waltzes can be purchased from David Heyes' Recital Music (England). By the way a unique recording of the 12 is in the works, along with Luigi Negri's five romantic pieces. I should have it released by the end of the summer. Cheers!

Unique because it's the only one ever done, or something else?

Not sure if it helps but there's a shop in London where I found them and they had a couple of copies?

7-12 from ludwin music...I like these pieces

I found an out of print copy of the first six waltzes edited by Bertam Turetzky in the Charles Darwin University Library in Darwin, NT, Australia. The publisher McGinness & Marx have closed down. I have emailed the publisher, Bert Turetzky and any possible link to order a copy and received no replies, so I have taken copies of the music and had it bound.

The first six Dragonetti Waltzes are available from McGinnis and Marx, NY. The company is still in business...

I just found all 12 in one book from Eble Music. I got the last six from Ludwin and 4 of the first 6 were in the Oscar Zimmerman Solos book. Looks like I'm paying for twelve just to get the two I don't have.

The edition I used for my recording (first ever of all 12 also and includes 5 Negri pieces), Romanze e Valzer, is published by David Heyes, Recital Music, and is edited by Bert Turetzky. THere are numerous "problems" in the edition, but overall a good read. My recording takes the eccentricities of Dragonetti to new levels of extreme! Have fun!

I plan I getting these for future playing, what "problems" are in this edition? Also, why haven't recordings of these been done before?

These have now arrived in URTEXT edition. I purchased this version, it's incredible. And the website lets you have a few of them for free!!

Google "G. Henle Verlag"

+1 on the Henle edition, or any Henle edition of any music for that matter. I think you can get it from sheetmusicplus.
