C. D. von Dittersdorf: Concerto for double bass and orchestra no. 2 in E major (double bass and piano reduction) - I. Allegro

Abstract:
Regarding the student's interpretation, Prof. Stubenrauch offers suggestions on articulation and phrasing, emphasizing the need for it to be more natural: music should be fun and joyful, regardless of the technical difficulties involved in playing it. He suggests options for using different bows than those in the edition provided.
Stubenrauch continues with recommendations concerning musical phrasing, bowing techniques, and arm movement, among other issues. The professor believes it is better to play standing up because sitting limits movement more. They practice these body gestures and the professor recommends exercises for coordinating the bow with the left hand.
