What a privilege it was to assist in the arrangement of the first movement of the double bass concerto. The second and third movements have been played for some years on the euphonium but at last the complete concerto can be performed. The first movement has a military feel to it and the cadenza was written based on other Capuzzi music I discovered in the British Library and references the lively third movement. The lovely slow 2nd movement provides a reflective contrast that shows this arrangement of the double bass concerto works so well on the euphonium.
