Rehearsing a #virtuosic passage from #gioachinorossini #duet for #cello and #doublebass with @vholmesjrbass To hear the entire piece, reserve your free seats to our online concert on Feb 20, 2021 using the link in my profile description or pasted below. Rossini’s duet was commissioned in 1824 by amateur #cellist Sir David Salomans for a party featuring a duet with the famous bass virtuoso Domenico Dragonetti. As Rossini was known for his many operas, this piece is full of Italian operatic style writing for the instruments including long singing melodies and virtuoso show off moments!
