Double Bass Need Marcello Sonata in G minor in PDF form

[Steve Freides]

Does anyone have the Marcello Sonata in G minor in PDF form? I would buy if I could find it but I can't.

This is for a colleague of mine, a high school music teacher and band director.

I have never played these, but I will order a printed copy asap because I am a Boy Scout when it comes to buying music. If anyone has that they care to share with me, you can PM me here and I would love to get it in email.

Many thanks in advance.

I don't think so. It's a sonata for one cello and piano that's transcribed for bass - as far as I know. I did look on IMSLP but didn't see a bass version.

Try this, if it helps but is in E minor, Steve.

Someone here has PM'ed me and offered to email me a scan tomorrow, which I will pass along to my colleague.

The local music store has this in stock - yowser - and they're holding it for me so I will buy it in person tomorrow.

Thanks, everyone, and if the scan doesn't work out, I'll post again because I can't scan here - broke a while back and we never fixed it.

Here is link to ISMLP (?) to all 6 of the sonatas. http://imslp.org/wiki/6_Cello_Sonatas,_Op.1_(Marcello,_Benedetto)

Yes, but they're cello versions, not for bass.

• 2.2.4 Sonata in G minor (No.4)
  • 2.2.4.1 For 3 Trumpets and 2 Trombones (Rondeau)
  • 2.2.4.2 For Violin and Piano (Salmon)
  • 2.2.4.3 For Cello and Piano (Salmon)
  • 2.2.4.4 For Cello and Piano (Schroeder)

I don't think any of the bass editions are any different than the cello editions except that the couple I've seen have no tenor clef.

I bought the paper version of this earlier today - will try to have a look.
