Dittersdorf, Carl Ditters von - Concerto In E Major, K 172 - Double Bass and Piano - edited by Franz Tischer-Zeitz - Schott Edition

"Through the ages, the bass has gone through many flavors of tuning; the Dittersdorf concerto was written during an interlude where the bass was most often a three-stringed instrumented with an A-D-A tuning (B-E-B in solo tuning). I mention this because going back to that perfect-fourth and perfect-fifth tuning makes this piece much, much easier, turning it from a piece that seems more challenging than its worth into a light-hearted, witty concerto in E-Major." - Sasha Brandt, Shar Apprentice (Double Bass)
