Twelve Waltzes, by Dragonetti arr. for low horn

Twelve Waltzes, by Domenico Dragonetti, arranged for low horn by Shawn Hagen.  

Domenico Dragonetti (1763–1846) was a virtuoso bassist from Venice whose playing revolutionized the Double Bass. He moved to London in 1794 and established international fame as a performer. His friendship and artistry influenced the bass writing of Haydn and Beethoven. As a composer, Dragonetti's works—eighteen volumes housed at the British Library—include concertos, orchestral pieces, quintets, duos, and solo works. His Twelve Waltzes for Double Bass Solo, written near the end of his life, showcased both his skill as a player and the instrument's surprising possibilities.
