Preface
Giovanni Bottesini (1821–1889) was an Italian composer, conductor,
and music teacher. He was arguably also the most eminent
double-bass player of his time, and his virtuosity on the instrument
had earned him the title “the Paganini of the Double Bass.” Bottesini
toured the world extensively, and among his many accomplishments,
was chosen by Verdi to conduct the world premiere of Aida in 1871.
Bottesini’s instructional book Complete Method for Double Bass, in its
various editions, has become a staple of the double-bass curriculum.
Bottesini championed the three-string double bass — an earlier
version of the instrument, missing today’s E string, which was
standard at the time in many parts of the world. Consequently, the
lowest note in his original Method is low A (except for a few exercises,
originally meant for solfège).
This digital edition of Bottesini’s Method is based on the 1869 French
edition issued by Léon Escudier, as found on the International Music
Score Library Project website (imslp.org). It contains only the
exercises (in a slightly different order), without the original text and
illustrations, and does not include the second part of the book, titled
“the double bass considered as a solo instrument.” Due to the advances
in double-bass technique since Bottesini’s time, and given today’s
near-universality of four-string instruments, the original fingering,
position, and bowing markings were omitted.
The latest version of this edition and additional material (the entire
book transposed to all other keys, audio files, etc.) are available at
yuvalnov.org/bottesini. To report mistakes in this document or to

I dedicate this edition to my beloved daughter Naomi, a baker of fine
