Tobias Glöckler (Editor, Fingering and bowing for Double Bass, Cadenzas)
Christoph Sobanski (Piano reduction)
Thanks to its wealth of invention, elegant workmanship, and technical and musical challenges, Franz Anton Hoffmeister´s Concerto "no. 1" has emerged as the preferred concerto for double bass auditions. Tobias Glöckler´s edition leaves no wishes unfulfilled: the double bass part appears in solo and orchestral tuning with piano reductions in D major and C major. Moreover an additional part, written in fingering notation, has been specially designed for use with the "Viennese tuning" customary in Hoffmeister´s days. It allows players to use this resonant historical tuning immediately without tedious retraining. Finally, a separate part is also provided for the solo violin appearing in the second movement.
