Sperger - Double Bass Concerto No.1 in D major (Urtext), Score and Parts
Johannes Matthias Sperger - Double Bass Concerto No.1 in D major, Urtext edition. Complete parts and score, along with a solo double bass part, available as a PDF file. Version to be performed in D major.
Johannes Matthias Sperger’s first double bass concerto is available in an Urtext edition, edited from the manuscript at the Landesbibliothek Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Schwerin (Mus 5176/3). Titled “Concerto per il Contrabaßo” and written in 1777, the manuscript contains a score in D major and parts in E-flat major, which means that Sperger most likely performed this work in both standard Viennese tuning and also tuned up a half step. The score and parts are available in both keys, with a solo part available in D major for both tunings.
This concerto is a wonderful work in the classical style and contains many passages that show off the possibilities of Viennese tuning. The horn parts are presented in their original notation for natural horn. Please contact me if parts are needed in other keys.
