Giovanni Bottesini (1821- 1889) was an Italian Romantic composer, conductor, and double bass virtuoso (the god of basses). His most famous work was his second Double Bass Concerto. Due to his virtuosity, his nickname was “The Paganini of the Double Bass”. Paganini was another virtuoso but with the violin and he was known for his absolutely unforgiving pieces and being known as some of the technically most challenging pieces on the violin. Bottesini would compose works that showed the world that the double bass wasn’t an accompaniment instrument but instead one worth a solo. He was also one of the few performers to use a french bow hold instead of a german which was more or less reserved for violins, violas, & cellos.
