Double Bass Simandl Concerto?

[HaroldBass]

I was wondering where in the world could I find the Simandl Concerto in G major? I know someone that has it, but it was given to him.

Simandl's Concerto in A, Op.75 can be found here: Invalid Link Removed. Do not confuse this with his Concert Study, Op. 66.

You do not want to play that concerto.

 

[kraid]

My thoughts exactly.

Harold -
If you really want the Simandl concerto that bad just ask Simon or Justin. But I wouldn't rush, Levinson is going to make you play it anyway.

Why wouldn't he want to play it? Is it extremely boring or difficult?

The first movement is 7 pages (I believe) and 12 minutes of scales and arpeggios with no melodic lines whatsoever. Good old Franz does through in a double stop or two every once in a while though for good measure.

I was just wondering why I couldnt find it anywhere, thats all.
