Double Bass Concerto op. 3

Double Bass Concerto op. 3

Domenico Dragonetti: 'The Famous Solo'

Once Dragonetti 's showpiece, 'The Famous Solo' is largely unknown today. This cannot be down to the virtuoso work itself, but is more likely due to the unclear source situation with its different versions. In this Henle Urtext edition Tobias Glöckler presents the composer's autograph arrangement for Double Bass and String Quartet for the first time.

Overture No. 2 : For the Opera Leonore (1805)

Beethoven wrote a total of four overtures for his only opera, “Leonore”/ “Fidelio”. The so-called Leonore Overture no. 2 is first in the series by chronology and was written in 1805 for the premiere of the opera in Vienna. It follows the concept of a summary of integral moments in the subsequent dramatic work, eschewing a formal closing by means of a recapitulation of the exposition. Instead, the double clarion call, which suggests the resolution of the conflict in the opera, leads directly to transition into the coda. Featuring a new preface, it now appears as a study edition prepared on the basis of the musical text of the Beethoven Complete Edition.Beethoven wrote a total of four overtures for his only opera, “Leonore”/ “Fidelio”.
