An Ital\u00adian from Lom\u00adbardy, he worked var\u00adi\u00adously in Amer\u00adica, Cuba and Eng\u00adland. Much of his music sounds like Brahms or Schu\u00admann, and not much of it is strik\u00adingly orig\u00adi\u00adnal, but most of it is quite pret\u00adty. I have twelve pieces, ten ot them slight [an <em>Alle\u00adgretto Capric\u00adcio<\/em>, an <em>Alle\u00adgro di Con\u00adcerto<\/em> \u201cAlla Mendelssohn\u201d , a Bolero, a <em>Capric\u00adcio di Bravu\u00adra<\/em>, three Ele\u00adgies, an Intro\u00adduc\u00adtion and Gavotte, a <em>Melo\u00addia<\/em>, and a <em>R\u00eaver\u00adie<\/em>, all for Dou\u00adble Bass and Piano]. Two more are fair\u00adly seri\u00adous works. The Con\u00adcerto #2 in B Minor would be well known if it was for cel\u00adlo. It\u2019s as good as many cel\u00adlo con\u00adcer\u00adtos in stan\u00addard reper\u00adtoire. Best of all is his <em>Gran Duo Con\u00adcer\u00adtante<\/em> for Vio\u00adlin and Dou\u00adble Bass, which was orig\u00adi\u00adnally scored for two bass\u00ades. It is an intel\u00adli\u00adgent work, and I sus\u00adpect that I would pre\u00adfer it in its orig\u00adi\u00adnal form. How\u00adever, the ver\u00adsion with vio\u00adlin seems to be the only one available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For\u00adgot\u00adten by all but con\u00adcert dou\u00adble-basists, Bottesi\u00adni was the most renowned soloist and com\u00adposer on that instru\u00adment in the nine\u00adteenth cen\u00adtury.
