About

Composed in London near the end of 1824, the Duetto is one of the few chamber music works regularly performed today. It is a light and charming composition yet requires experienced performers.

The work was often performed in the 19th century by the double bass virtuoso Domenico Dragonetti (called ‘Il drago ’ or ‘Paganini of the double bass’) and we know that Rossini was acquainted with and consulted Dragonetti on matters dealing with the instrument.

Bärenreiter’s critical edition is the only currently available publication which is based on Rossini’s autograph and not on the first edition.

- Urtext based on the “ Works of Gioachino Rossini”
- First critical edition of the work
- Reference score and separate parts
- With a foreword (Ger/Eng/Ital) and Critical Commentary (Eng)

“…an excellent feature.”
(American String Teacher, May 2010)

“This Duetto is probably the best known duo for cello and double bass and now after years […] we are offered an Urtext score with separate parts by Bärenreiter – much more player friendly!”
(2009 Summer Arco, Andrew Marshall)
