Jan Křtitel Vaňhal
Jan Křtitel Vaňhal’s Double Bass Concerto No. 1 is a beloved work in the Classical double bass repertoire, balancing elegant melodic lines with technical demands suited to the soloist’s skill. The concerto combines lyrical, singing phrases with virtuosic arpeggios and rapid scales, especially in the lively Allegro movements, which require dexterity and clear articulation. The expressive Adagio calls for warm, sustained tone and sensitive phrasing, making this concerto a rewarding piece for demonstrating both the double bass’s agility and its lyrical potential.
