Gioachino Rossini
Une larme for Double Bass and Piano
In the late 1850s, when Rossini was composing only for his own private pleasure, he wrote a little elegy for double bass and piano that he entitled “une larme” (“a tear”). Its theme also served as the basis for a larger-scale set of variations for cello and piano. The importance that Rossini ascribed to this short piece for double bass is demonstrated not least by the fact that he made a richly ornamented dedication copy of it in 1858. This hitherto little-known source is in Russia and has now been consulted for the first-ever time for a critical Urtext edition. As in Henle’s other Urtext editions for this instrument, the double bass specialist Tobias Glöckler has prepared a version in solo tuning and orchestral tuning and added fingerings and bowings to the solo part.

The musical text is given twice, once in A minor (for bass in standard orchestral tuning) and again a tone higher for the brighter solo tuning. The solo part (a single sheet) has the clean Urtext version on one side and the editor`s minimal additions on the reverse; in other words, help where it might be needed without unnecessary interference. All in all, an excellent little edition, worth every cent.
Early Music Review, 2018The present edition provides double-bass players with the choice of an orchestral or a solo tuning part, and corresponding piano parts in A minor and B minor are included. Additionally, it contains marked and unmarked solo parts. Bowing and fingerings are suggested by editor Tobias Glöckler. An insightful Preface, and helpful footnotes and comments on notation, signs, and articulation complement Henle`s fastidious new printing.
