Jan Křtitel Vaňhal (1739-1813), Concerto in E major
3rd movement: Allegro
Orchestration: Božo Paradžik 2015

Božo Paradžik, solo double bass
Budapest String Chamber Orchestra (with winds)
Budapesti Vonósok Kamarazenekar
Artistic leader: János Pilz (concertmaster)

This version is performed in D major with scordatura in D ("solo tuning") which result in E major. For the modern double bass tuned in fourths, this edition (published by Hoffmeister) is technically much more natural solution than the strangely popular C major edition.
If the instrument is tuned between the "orchestra" and "solo" tuning, the result is E flat major, the original tonality of the piece. I prefer that option, but I had to play another pieces in the same concert (Bottesini) so we are finally in E major here.

It was a hard task to play this concert by 34,5°C / 94°F temperature and 72% humidity on the stage.

Thanks for watching! Božo Paradžik
