Double Bass Nino Rota's Divertimento Concertante...

I'm sorry.
Now I try to explain. Rota and Petracchi wrote ar 4 hands the Divertimento Concertante. But also Rota death Petracchi used to change some part in the double bass score. The part that I played some years ago for <carish was quite correct but with some mistake in the piano.
Today there's a final part of Divertimento but my one might be a good a surely point of view.

Better find on the tube LEONARDO PRESICCI: it is the more correct, in piano or bow parts and fingerings.

Hi Stencil,

I spent a long time trying to figure out how to get a copy of this piece, and eventually found out about Elkin Music, which is a great company that specializes in ordering hard-to-find editions. You may be able to find the Nuova Carisch edition elsewhere in the U.S., but if you don't have any luck, try Elkin. Too bad that Schott page doesn't seem to order to the U.S. (or maybe I missed it.)

It only comes in a solo tuning edition, though. I'd love to know if someone knows a source for an orchestral tuning piano part.

Yes, Carish is the better one. If I well remember there are only little mistakes in the piano part at the beginning. A good pianist is able to find them. For what regards the bass there are no mistakes but Mr Petracchi has changed a lot of things during the years. By the way it's possible to play it correctly.
I have the orchestra part but I'm sorry I can't share it with anyone. Probably it's on rental only.

Hello, I recommend contacting Dr Milton Masciadri at UGA -a former student of his (a Dr Alex Ritter (unsure of the last name for sure)) wrote an entire doctoral dissertation on the piece -much of it was done based on interviews with Pettracci. Dr Masciadri should be able to get you in contact with this other doctor, as he has the entire history of the piece and every revision and every version written down in his paper. He gave an excellent presentation on it at the UGA Bass Symposium.

Let me know how this goes.
 
Thanks Jeremy. I will try to do some more research. Keep me in mind if you find out anything as well. Hope you are doing well.

Volkan,

you can write to my great friend maestro Leonardo Presicci ([email protected]). Tell him you have talked with me. He surely can help you because he has played Divertimento several times with Orchestra.

Or contact Invalid Link Removed (CARISCH). Surely they have got it.

Ciao

Vito
