Difficulty: Virtuoso

Henri Vieuxtemps’ Tarantella is taken from his collection of pieces for violin and piano, 6 Morceaux de Salon, op. 22. The work follows a typical tarantella style, with a repeating rondo theme and a relentless fast tempo throughout. This new transcription of the work for double bass by Catalin Rotaru stays true to the original whilst altering a number of chords for playability. This edition contains Catalin’s fingerings and bowings, and is available with piano parts in solo or orchestral tuning.
