Double Bass Orchestral solo accompaniment

Hi

I am preparing Rigoletto and Pulcinella solo passages for orchestral auditions
I would like to rehearse them with piano accompaniment in solo tuning.

I have searched all around Internet for the piano accompaniment and couldn't find anything.

Does anybody know where to find or would be willing to share the piano accompaniment for the mentioned pieces in solo tuning.
I have Rigoletto(in orch. tuning), Haydn (all bass solos in both tunings) and solo+bass parts for all the mentioned pieces I am willing to share.

Best regards
 
I don't know of any piano accompaniment for these, but I'd suggest there will be piano reductions available for repetiteurs to use. If you're lucky, you may find one with the bass solo included, although these reductions often - if not always - have the instrumental sections cut.
 
I am sure that they exist as I heard them before in bass recitals.
You can also hear them in this videos from Klaus Stoll.
Its just complicated finding them in any book.
The orch. version of Rigoletto was released in
Solos for the double bass player by Oscar Zimmerman.
