Scontrino: Il Canto del Pastore

 Grade: Advanced

Antonio Scontrino was an Italian bass virtuoso and composer and this work, from the end of the 19th-century, has been out of print for many years.

The style is lyrical and melodic, using much of the solo range of the instrument, and the more adventurous and virtuosic middle section is framed by cantabile episodes, often in harmonics. There are many opportunities to display technical prowess alongside an advanced musicality. It would be ideal for anyone who enjoys the challenges of Bottesini and with much scope for imaginative phrasing and tonal contrasts.

The edition includes piano accompaniments for both solo and orchestral tunings.

Despatch time for this item is 4-5 working days.
