Concerto for double bass and Orchestra in D major
- original composers version -
1st movement: Allegro moderato
About the piece:
Although Capuzzi was well-known composer of his age, this lovely concerto is probably the only piece still performed. His other pieces are forgotten nowadays, unfortunatelly. This is the original version of this concerto, this recording present its urtext in its original tonality and octave. This piece is composed for three-strings-bass tuned in fourths and the manuscripts (based in British Museum) present solo bass staff in the real sound octave. Performing it one octave lower doesn't only sound really bad, many of the tones would simply not have been playable on the three-strings bass, the standard instruments in Italy during Capuzzi's lifetime.
The most of double bass players know rather F major version of this piece, which is in fact recomposed version by Francis Baines, the editor of the first printing of this piece. It was one of the very first printed scores for double bass. Francis Baines's version contains many harmonical changes of the orchestral material. Also very many single tones of the solo part have been changed throughout whole the piece. Its rapid recomposing of the second movement, printing obviously strongly romatized articulations and some decions which were out of any stylistic habits of the classical age (like placing the cadenza in the middle of the first movement) are decisions which are clearly unacceptable for today's understanding of the old music and trying to perform it in its historically correct form.
This original version can be performed very well in any of modern tunings in fourths: G-D-A1-E1, A-E-B1-F#1, but also as well in higher scordatura c-G-D-A1 and d-A-E-B1. The scordatura used during this performance was A-E-B1-F#1 which is probably the least comfortable one of all of them, but it was choosen just for practical reasons: Dittersdorf's concerto was performed in the same concert (that recording was already uploaded on RUclips few years ago).
This orchestral material can be hired by the Yorke Edition (GB)
Special thanks to Duckkyu Yoon and Jinwon Yoon for providing me the tape of their amateur video recording of this live performance as it is probably the only existing video. It made possible to create and upload this recording- and to share it with RUclips viewers.
The professional 32bit/96kHz multitrack sound recording (in pure natural sound, without digital hall processing) has been recorded using Schoeps microphones MK2s, MK2H, MK21, MOTU firewire interface and Samsung notebook / Windows XP.

Thanks for watching, Božo Paradžik
I am since July 2019 on Instagram, it is frequently updated, get more insight and follow my projects from early stages: #bozoparadzik
Its great to see a performance of this level, because i hate that it has become an student concerto after that nobody want to play it.
It should be played like koussevitzky, bottesini and another great bass concerts :) excellent work Master bozo...
Hugs from Mexico
@@ChiefHerzensCoach yeah i mean it looks like he noticed it was a little out of tune, as long as you cant hear him tuning i see no problem there
couldnt agree more!!
So glad i found this!! I have to play it in F and it relally helps to see a professional play it to get rythyms down!
BRAVO!! Finally this concerto is no longer a “student piece”. Great to have this on the net. Waiting for the other movements….thank you Bozo!
Absolutely wonderful.
It sounds SO MUCH better in the original key. Great performance! Bravo!
Who else is about to learn this piece?
Jane H this concerto was a huge change in my musical education, i thinlk is a very useful piece. Good luck and enjoy that!!
Me too. 😑
Gerda Burkhardt same
In F
lmao im doing it for a competition
Capuzzi plz
This is amazing, great version and performance, thank you for uploading this, greetings from argentina
Fabulous job Bozo! I only wish I could have played it this well at my audition.
Grandioso!!
Eres un grande Bozo, muchas gracias por aportar tanto al contrabajo !!
Bravo!!!! I didn't like this concert until now! Amazing music, as always. Thanks Bozo.
Qué hermosa interpretación, me encanta.
Capuzzi pls
완전멋져요..
YOUR STYLE IS IMPECCABLE ASDF
I'm working this with several students, Yorke Edition, Rodney Slatford arr. There's a number of articulation and dynamic markings which are very different from your performance. Based on your notes I'm assuming the original does not have these.
Sounds great in the octave you performed. It actually seems to fit the instrument better up there and allow for more musical expression. Thank you for sharing!
Yes, that is true... my goal was the fact that still quite many people believe version in F major is the original. About the articulations, I had to adapt couple of things to make the piece sound right in a concert hall of capacity ca 2k 🤗 thanks
I'm thinking about switching to a base in Orchestra class I'm currently playing the viola
Learn to spell it first.
@@tusharray8513 that was two years ago... i can spell bass now
@@colettesparks2980 Oh, but are you playing the bass now?? :)
@@annemijnvlug2154 i quit
@@colettesparks2980 aah back to the viola or?
The sound is absolutely great. It would have been perfect if the video hadn't had a delay. I'm a cellist and I think this piece is beautiful!! Bozo, you're a master!
Hi 🤗 RUclips has messed up the sync, I have no idea how, it used to be perfect when it was uploaded. Actually, RUclips has had a server bug for years so the picture was delayed about 4 frames per second. This video was rendered perfectly well at the time to match that bug, but possibly RUclips has messed it up if they have edited some videos on the server after solving the bug
it's so beautiful!

I learned to play this bass solo last month and am performing it with orchestra soon!!!!! Hopefully no one thinks less of me since I'm 13
At the beggining i loved koussevitzky, not anymore im more into vanhal and dittersdof but y rather sonatas :)... hugs. and i love your frank sonata, well everything you have played:).
Koussevitzky is still cool tho
Terrific performance. Soloist and orchestra sound great and balance on recording is really superb.
Veramente molto bravo!

Wonderful performance! Looks to me that the bass solo has been transposed into C maj. and played with solo tuning putting it in D maj. Can anyone confirm? Certainly lies very nicely that way.
Yes that's right
Fun piece to play. Just watch for the slurred sixteenths and triplets.
Sounds great an octave up!
Nico Kruger sounds perfect just like this
Ahhhh yes. Finally a recording that doesn't swing the dotted eighth sixteenths?
I played this concerto for my acceptance exam at the Musikhochschule Munich, the slow movement being really the most difficult because there’s no space to hide.
What I remember, though, is that I did the 1st and 3rd mvts. not as bouncy but more singing. legato if you will. Just checked the music again, and there a re few staccatos.
Any reason?
Interesting small bass, btw. Mine was more like a Klotz.
Thanks, and keep it up.
Why does he play in a much higher octave when the music I have is in a lower octave? Is it his choice? I’ve seen other bassists play this and they play in the lower octaves.
Some people think it sounds better, and some also think Capuzzi meant for the piece to be played in this octave
Like the description explains the version in this video it's the original and the lower played versions are transcriptions.
So the video says "Original composer's version" yet it is played an octave higher than he wrote it?
It is written in sounding pitch, not in today's usual octave transposition. So he is playing it as it was intended to sound. Read the video description for a very detailed explanation :)
♥️
Pozdrav Bozo! Da li imate slucajno snimak II i III stava?
Dobar dan, pa na RUclips-u je, već oko 8 godina, s istog koncerta 😎
ich frage mich manchmal, ob selbst musiker die auf so einem großartigen level musik machen können, manchmal sich ihre alten aufnahmen anhören und ihnen noch sachen auffallen die sie anders machen würden
I am playing this!
me too! :)
Me too!
me too
Me too..
Like like and like!!
cAPUZZI pls
♡♡♡
How much was it?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Where could I find the orchestral score to this concerto?
@pennstateeuph We hired the orchestral material by the Yorke Edition
Hello Bozo, I wonder were I can get the solo part in D major? hugs
@Esteban Pelaez I have used Yorke Edition, but transposed directly to a minor seventh higher. Thus C major fingering, scordatura in D.
Hi people! The original versión is un F not un D , thuth?
@Lara González please find all the answers in the the text description of this video
The edition by francis baines ( the most commonly played edition) its in F original version in D
L González is un F major
So is this piece more typically performed in this octave that Bozo's playing in? The copy I have is down an octave. Anyone know which version is more commonly practiced?
the one that you see is in the octave it was intended.
The lower octave was more common when I was learning the piece in high school, the option in F major. However, since that time, the bass community has made a big shift to playing in thumb position. Something that really wasn't touched on for me as a student (in high school) but now is common practice. So this version might be the more common piece now but 20 years ago it wasn't where I was growing up. I teach the F major, currently. Maybe once I myself learn this version, I might bring it in for my more advance students. Hope that helps. The performance was awesome!
loubass90 i am studying music performance in college right now and i am being taught it down an octave in D Major; but i am a jazz major and bowing is rather new to me so that could be why
Hi
A question, the orchestra play in G major?
The song is in D major, but I'm not sure about the orchestra :)
i think the orchestra is playing in E, his version is written in D major, but with solo tuning resuslts in E major
Escondidas Finn That was i was thinking, but possiblely he is playing in C. I dont know, but if anyone knows where can i buy E or G version,please tell me!! jajaja
👏👍😘🎼🎻
高校の頃よく弾いてたなー、自己満のひどい演奏を
Mi dispiace per la sua schiena.
😂😂😂😂 ti ringrazio, ma non avevo mai una problema con la mia schiena
maxim me you know, who didnt try it dont know how is it play doublebass. I play doublebass and it is just amazing and comfortable
Mendelssohn piano concerto
1:30
here because phoebe.
3:30
he looks so UNCOMFORTABLE.
i NEVER want to be a double bass player
Maxim Mee dont worry, you could never be
You get used to it, He’s playing in thumb position which is quite uncomfortable sometimes but personally I don’t really play in thumb position that much and I’ve never seen any of my school’s year 12s play in thumb position.
ok his playing un D high 8"
これコンバスなんですか？（学校のやつと形が違くてびっくりしている）
同じ楽器か疑うレベルで違う形なら学校に合ったのがベースじゃなかったのでは。
おそらくヴァイオリンシェイプのことを言っているのかな、学校でよく見られるのは経験上ガンバシェイプがほとんどだから
この時期の作品なら通奏低音入れるべきなのでは？
なんか耳から勝手に「通奏低音入ってきて」しまうような曲ですね。
i feel like your description is really rude for no reason ??? lmao chill
