en este video bozo paradzic toca con cuerdas afinadas a la vienesa!

por eso las digitaciones me parecian tan extrañas! :D

Dear vorosueca:

no, this is not "Viennese tuning", but standard solo tuning in fourths. I am not interested in historical bass tunings.

[jarabass]

I have a question... Why do you choose to use only horns? Didn't you think to add oboes to this arrangment, instead of the flutes?

By the way, I love this version, is my favorite! The very best of all!

[bozoparadzikcom]

Hello "jarabass". I find it more elegant without any woodwinds. No matter if obeos or flutes, woodwinds would play unisono with violins, so they are in fact dispensable for this kind of piece, so I definitelly don't attend to add them. By the way, the original (lost) Haydn's bass concerto was orchestrated just the same way. I am glad you also like it.

What do you think about vienna tuning? Every concerto in this region was written, in 18th century, for this kind of tuning, including this concerto. (A. Meier - Konzertante Musik..., you can find information about this). Greetings from Bratislava. A. Jaro

Vazeny pane Jaro,

stare ladenie je velmy zaujimave ale ja je nie pouzivam. Nastroj sa uz vsak vyvolal dalej i kvartove ladenie je o vela prakticnejsie i univerzalniejsie. Ani tento konzert v originalu ani inne tazke veci jako Mozartova "per questa.." nie su v podstate o nic lachcie do hrania v terc-kvartovem ladeniu, potize su v innych mestach. Dakujem pre otazku.

And your mother directs the angel choirs! This is fabulously executed. Please finish high school, and live a while. Earn your disrespect honestly, little boy.

Fantastic performance Bozo! Real joy to listen!

@mortalfrog0815 I agree with you, and I have played the bass for 40 years. to me the thing is made for continuo work or 8 of us roaring at the bottom of a great symphony.

the tone of the bass is IMO too coarse and plaintive to be an effective solo instrument, and I certainly do not approve of bass players gate crashing a string quartet and thinking they can get away with doing a cello part an 8ve higher than written.

are there any other than bass players who like it as a solo?

[FilmComposeRaHoppe]

he is, beside ludwig streicher, one of my favorite players. I wanna be this good some day as well. It sounds just like standing in a room full of happy people…

[siegfriedstark]

Thanks a lot! Dittersdorf is a complete surprise for me, and I belive for many people also: his musicality is pretty akin to that of Mozart's.

la mejor interpretación  de este concierto, muchas felicidades Bozo

[eriqlo]

excelente interpretación, aunque la afinación no es vienesa, no entiendo la confusión, pero que alegría escuchar a Bozo,
