Dragonetti: A Study in Melody with Joseph Conyers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- I thought the Dragonetti Double Bass Concerto would be a great piece to look at for a beautiful melody that young musicians (or any musician!) can really dig into with their phrasing.
How do you take a piece beyond just the notes and rhythms? What steps do you take?
I think this piece utilizes an open string so well, so check out my video on playing open strings as well!

Dragonetti's 3-string bass would likely have just omitted the E string, so A-D-G. I'm basing that on the 12 Waltzes, which don't go below open A.
That said, this concerto was apparently composed by Edouard Nanny in tribute to Dragonetti, and in Dragonetti's style.
I used to play this piece so much...very fun! Great to hear your interpretation here.
Thanks for listening 😃
Golden! Beautiful information, thank you!
Dragonetti didn’t write this. It was written by the French bassist Eduord Nanny in the 20th century. He claimed that Dragonetti wrote it so it could sell better.
It was so a tribute to Dragonetti, I believe
Yes!! :)
4:25 this is technically a 4-3 suspension but usually I treat these as appagiaturas, Especially if it’s not tied
Interesting how many bassists are still unaware that this piece WAS NOT really composed by Dragonetti
Your videos are so meaningful to young musicians❤❤Thanks a lots!
This helped so much, thanks! Great video❤️
thanks for your great videos! just a thought about these concertos: seems to me that the Dragonetti and Kousevitzky were actually written for 4 strings. the reason is that both of them have a low “G” (actually A) on the written part; however, the Botesinni doesn’t have that note.
Tyyy ❤❤❤❤
I am an old timer who knows who started using surgical tubing on the french bow first. - He lost some fingers and had to do it, or stop playing.
This concert was written by Édouard Nanny in 1925!!! But it sounds like Dragonetti (Nanny did a great job) and it is a great fun to play it!
Quiz: Is the D the tonic, or dominant? We only have one sharp... :) Oh haha you caught it the second time.
Has anyone transcribed this pice for cello? I would love to play it
Truthfully, I never thought that this was a good piece of music. Yuk!
