Capuzzi was an Italian violinist and composer who worked in Venice in the 1970s. His Concerto For Double Bass is charming and sports simple lines, crisp rhythms and an elegance of form. As a result, it is a great favourite. An ideal addition to recital and exam programmes, the present version of the second and third movements is perfect for young players and professionals alike, and fills a substantial hole in the euphonium repertoire of eighteenth-centry classics. Available with brass band or piano.
