 | Complete Works for Double Bass The Works for Double Bass by Dittersdorf were written in 1760s for the Double Bass virtuoso Pichelberger. Such works are well known for being technically demanding (with the viola part penned by Dittersdorf for himself). The two concertos were used by Haydn’s bassist Sperger at the Esterházy Orchestra and mainly survived for this reason. Dittersdorf was on friendly terms with Mozart & Haydn & they used his Symphonies & Oratorios as Style reference.
