Dittersdorf, Karl Ditters von, t<\/strong>he Double Bass Concerto in D\/E major by\u00a0 (Krebs 172)<\/strong> is widely regarded as one of the most performed and significant works in the entire double bass repertoire \u2014 a staple of conservatories, auditions, and international competitions.

About This Edition<\/h3>\n

This edition has been carefully prepared by Peyber A. Medina H.<\/strong>, who has revised the musical text from primary sources and \u2014 crucially \u2014 transcribed the cadenzas originally composed by Dittersdorf himself<\/strong>, restoring them as the composer intended. Most available editions replace these with cadenzas written by modern editors; this edition returns to the composer’s own voice.<\/p>\n

Why Three Keys?<\/h3>\n

A distinctive feature of this concerto is that it has historically been performed in different keys depending on the tuning system used. Double basses can be tuned in several ways \u2014 standard orchestral tuning, solo tuning, or Viennese tuning \u2014 and the sounding key varies accordingly. This edition includes three transpositions<\/strong> so every bassist can choose what fits their instrument:<\/p>\n
