Domenico Dragonetti - Concerto for Double Bass I mvt.

[KarnEvil23]

Ma come minchia tiene l'archetto la violinista a destra, dietro di lui??

[josecontrabass]

no me gusta porque la orquesta tapa al solista!!!!!!

[ShiNoKuroiOokami]

I love the sweet sound of the highest notes played on the double bass in this piece. Absolutely delightful!

[SilverDommi]

SAME NAME AND SAME INSTRUMENT!!

[bookworm3124]

the first note was sharp.... :(

[nfblackburn13]

Good soloist and an awesome orchestra

[shikamaru1478]

que hermosa cancion cada vez que la escucho mas  me enamoro de ella *o*

[n3rdyr0cker]

germans for noobs, french is for men

[afroman1419]

@n3rdyr0cker hey fuck you man

[Mikeinatorable]

@n3rdyr0cker Funny, considering the German bow hold is older. 

[Manowar1177]

Dragonetti was the Steve Harris of his time.

A Pole playing German bow? Did anybody else catch this as amusing?

[pankracy111]

most of us (Poles) are playing with German bow, what os so amusing?

[WeCamefortheDead]

It's nice to see that the bass had a 'lead approach' in some classical music.

[venskus2009]

I play the bow like a cello and feel really dumb cause i keep contradicting myself which one it is. But i tried the other one with the underhand grip for like 30min. And wanted to shoot myself. It was soo uncomfortable and i have gorilla arms so i know its weird but i feel i can use the cello type bow easier cause its more monuverable.

[cowboysrule12]

I play german bow now after playing french for 5 years. It's 50-50 to me. Yes the french bow seemed to have more wrist usage but yet I have better grip and control of the bow when it's german

[kawaii7530]

B e a u t i f u l .

[mibassiaremylife]

Awesome piece, very well played!

And as for bows, I play French, and it seems to have more wrist usage than German.

[wks1978]

I play french bow.

I've never tried German.

What I do notice is a lot of german bow players seem to bow with a slightly crooked bow, not exactly perpendicular to the string.

Does anyone else notice this?

[JackytheRippler]

Yes, but that's bad technique. Normally you try to have a nice and even 90 degree angle to the string.

[PiercedxXxCrystal]

@wks1978 I played french for 3-4 years before switching to German and yes, German took a little longer to get used to bowing straight. It often starts a little squint but once you get used to it and understand how a straight bow looks and feels then it's not a problem :)

[Miwelito009]

I like this concert... and you are a great mucician...... congratulation!!!

[azachinito]

The G Major chord after the D F# can be played in one position across the four strings so u dont have to string change twice and shift in one chord. Put a 2 on the G on the Estring, 1 on the B, and thumb across the harmonics...

[PiercedxXxCrystal]

i play german bow :) and am currently working on this piece, it's a beast when you first see it! haha Well done! played really well here xXx

[kanye1204]

i play french bow, it looks like playing with a german bow would be much more difficult/painful, is it that way at all?

[PiercedxXxCrystal]

German Bow isn't difficult. I started on French and after 3 or 4 years swapped to German. Takes longer to get used to German but once you do i think you get alot more power/strength to play the bass. I think It's defo worth a 6month-year trial :)

[ikespay]

I started playing with a german bow for 5 years, then switched to a French Bow for the next 4 years, and I personally like the French style better because I feel that you can use more of your wrist.

[100yearsofhalo]

i don;t know i play french but i'll try geraman sometime soon

[fatgoogle]

What kind of bow, is that, im new too double bass, only been playing half a year, but ive never seen one like that, or am i just seeing it funny.

[ninjabassist]

this is a German style bow. approximately half of the double bassists in the world use them.

[apollogodofstars]

If you dont recognise a bass bow, just see how the person is holding it when not using it, eg, long rest or pizzicato. If they hold it pointing down, its german, if they hold it pointing up its french. German bows are held with the palm facing up, whereas french bows are held just like the cello and violin bows.

Hope this helps.

[fatgoogle]

Ok thanks it was the grip that lost me, i use french, but thats because my teacher uses a french bow.

[sean21122112]

Yeah okay, that's way better then I can play it. Fuck!

[dasherman343]

this sounds amazing wit an orchestra,, i've only played it wit a piano at like S&E and shit. good stuff, but watch 4th area intonation

[PiercedxXxCrystal]

wow he played that great, i'm working on it right now and it's a pain! x

[orchdork775]

This is great, I used this video as reference to learn this peice myself. You all should check it out, LOL, jk. Great performance :]

[necroramo]

[lkjfdsa35]

wonderfull! you give me hope about this solo for contest!!

[bikeforfree]

Ok I registered how come the watermark is still on the video ARGH

[gorramshiiny]

The watermark is from the program the person used to record the video, not youtube.

[SuperFinkle]

noob

[cheesenerd1]

???????????? are you serious???? can you play better???? (im not trying to be rude, seriously can you play better)

[sebastianmitrious]

I think SuperFinkle was calling nood the guy who though that after registered on youtube the watermark would disappear ...

[seabass888000]

5 stars, this is the fastest ive seen this played

[01youare10]

i love you.

[Turkos12]

Either the bass is too soft or the orchestra is too loud.

I think if the orchestra would lower the dynamics and the bassist would move his bow down towards the bridge to attain a more soloistic tone, the sound would be great.....But we're listening to a recorded sound. I'm sure the live sound was alot better. Great performance! Bravo!

[notealterate]

non conosco nessune dei tre citati , lavoro in forgia 9 ore al giorno ed ho la passione del c.basso, ho avuto la fortuna di ascoltare i loro dischi e mi sono piaciuti .... nient'altro .. se hai problemi dimmelo pure e stai attento perchè io non mi faccio dire servo da nessuno tanto meno da un musicista frustrato come te . mi chiamo lorenzo elvisi .

[TREPPEK]

Caro servo lorenzo del cazzo vai a fare in culo!

[notealterate]

bocini , petracchi e siragusa ... io sono uno studente del quinto anno ed ho solo una paura , che non è quella di non riuscire a fare il musicista . ma è quella di diventare un frustrato come te . ps : tu suoni come francesco siragusa o albero bocini ? se si buon per te , ma se non suoni come loro ....sei poco credibile o sbaglio ?tornando alla musica , questo dragonetti è prorio bello . complimenti .

[notealterate]

chiedo scusa a tutti per lo sfogo .

[vitoliuzzi]

Don't exagerate uncle Pino from South Italy.

[mcbortolo]

just 3 names from bad italians bassplayers..why can't you say that here if in italians boards you say to much shit about foreings bassplayers??

[vitoliuzzi]

I just would like to remember that this concert has never written by Dragonetti (probably by Dragottesini ;-)!). Surely it's an Edoard NANNY's concert written while he was the director of Nationa Conservatory in Paris. The only one who has recorded the authentic concert by Domenico Dragonetti has been italian maestro STEFANO SCIASCIA. Look at his web site. Also Fiona Palmer in her wonderful book indicates the correct concert edit by Malaric. So don't call him"Dragonetti Concert" :-((!

[nfblackburn13]

The audience should have been throwing babies that was so good!

[nfblackburn13]

i play this way slower

just because i have to creep in to the harmonics or i get them wrong

GREAT JOB

[YoshihiroUtsumi]

Wonderful !! Excellent !!!!!!

[ElJuapeador]

Wow, really wonderful performance of the piece. Great job.

[xXnishikigoiXx]

what is this piece?

[88maartje88]

amazing

[uberderre]

wow... really strong harmonics! oh, and the rest too =P bravo!

[sebawoj]

you are the best bass player in the world

[YamazaruEiki]

'Dis guy kikz ass!

[YamazaruEiki]

Bass is great... I wish I played it instead of the violin...

[YamazaruEiki]

Bass is great... I wish I played it instead of the violin...

[SCPektov]

i am currently working on this, too!! it's SO hard... i'm in the 6th degree and this is for the 8th degree...

[TehRacooonODoom]

i am currently working on this

man, i need to practice more

[9012osem]

Wish that was me!

[procrustesuk]

Excellent!!

[Muziasta]

lol! karwan! a gdzie roman? 0_o

[futurebass09]

wow, im starting to play this concerto and it sounds really nice, especially with the orchestra.

[zoso102589]

Excellent playing!

[claudiobassist]

aa!!!!como lo haceee!!el tempo y too!!tambien es muy afinado! cuando podre tocarlo asi... :'(!!

felicitaciones!!

[BaroqueSnake]

buenisimo

[vitoliuzzi]

Bravo Jacek,

But remember this concert has written by Edouard Nanny and not by Dragonetti. It's an historical great mistake. In London you can find the original one, or if you listen to a cd by Stefano Sciascia. It's very hard in comparison to this.

Bravo again!

[solobasso]

Brilliant performance!! Loved the tempos!

[herbiehusker13]

Bravo- a nearly flawless performance! Please post more.

[frank788892111]

what song us this

[herbiehusker13]

Most times, when competent people are looking for a title, they look at the title bar at the top of a screen. Alas, this is proven to be the case yet again. Domenico Dragonetti - Concerto for Double Bass I mvt.

[bassrun]

give this guy a break. probably doesnt know english

[herbiehusker13]

If that is indeed the case, I apologize. If it isn't, well...

[shredsledhardcore]

you sound like a nerd to me herbiehusker. a big fat nerd, with a greasy ponytail and glasses.

[herbiehusker13]

There's a fine distinction between nerd and educated. Because I choose to insult people with innuendo instead of calling them big and fat and assuming that they have physical attriutes I myself am self-concious of doesn't mean I'm nerd. And anyone who goes to youtube, including you, to listen to classical music must be in some part a bit of a nerd.

[shredsledhardcore]

attritute isn't a real word, you turkey.

[herbiehusker13]

My apologies if you couldn't figure out I mean attributes. A great comeback by the way. Call out a typo. Impressive.

[shredsledhardcore]

hahaha. you're a jerk. you know it.

[herbiehusker13]

I give you credit. You can't guess phsyical appearance, but personality you can get parts of. Actually youtube brings out the worst in me with arguements. I'm not this bad at all in person.

[shredsledhardcore]

haha. i just like pissing people off over the internet cause its the most bitch move someone can do. its so much fun.

[Giancascisi]

Come fa sto pezzo di legno a trovare anche un'orchestra che lo accompagni? Viuzzi, dici che è bravo? Ma se non ascolta manco l'orchestra... suona (e pure male) in una campana di vetro, e con gli armonici anora non ci ha capito nulla.

Anche se in questo video va molto meglio che negli altri.

[lairius]

Bravo, you do it great!!

[lairius]

Bravo!! You do it great!

[sebawoj]

Cześć Jacek. Bardzo dobrze zagrałeś. Ładny dzwięk, dobra wibracja, tylko jak zwykle orkiestra ładuje ile wlezie. Oby tak dalej. Pozdrawiam, Sebastian Wojsław.

[bassist1627]

So much arm movement, no wrist movement in the bow!

[taquitobandito08]

He is playing with a German bow, making wrist movement a little more difficult.

[bassist1627]

I play german bow too, and it doesn't make wrist movement harder it makes it easier.

[PiercedxXxCrystal]

i too play german and think wrist movement and control of the bow is easier. played french for 3 years b4 german. I suppose it must depend on the person.

[shoooooooooooota]

yes it does

i play french much better than german

[raistlin1423]

@PiercedxXxCrystal It does all depend on the person based on the simplicity of it, however I found more trouble with wrist problems using the german over the french. It also seems to leave less room for increased style with the bow, but Im sure that it was because I only played for about a year on the german.

[4tartarus]

@PiercedxXxCrystal I have never had the pleasure of playing with a German bow, but I believe it present a much more controlled sensation in posture because, as you said, the position of your wrist is parallel to the motion of the bow, whereas the French style kind of constitutes the movement of your entire upper arm, which presents much difficulty in controlling many factors in your playing (volume, attack, sustain, etc.).

[vitoliuzzi]

Dear Jacek,

you are so young and you play so well. Just little things and it will be perfect.

Bravo.

Vito Liuzzi

[TalYogev]

great playing. excellent tempo.

[lloccmttocs]

I agree, too many people (I have done it too) play it so fast it's hard to get it to sound musical at all.

[dasteufelhund]

This tempo is perfect!!!
