M老弟在前面贴的这张图片，不清楚在什么作品用到OCTOBASS，印象中记的好像是柏辽兹的一部什么作品？这得请教M老弟了。





维基百科对OCTOBASS的记述：

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Octobass

The octobass is an extremely large bowed string instrument constructed about 1850 in Paris by the French luthier Jean Baptiste Vuillaume (1798-1875). It has three strings and is essentially a larger version of the double bass (the specimen in the collection of the Musée de la Musique in Paris measures 3.48 meters in length, whereas a full size double bass is generally approximately 2 meters in length). Because of the impractically large size of its fingerboard and thickness of its strings, the strings were stopped by the use of an intricate system of hand- and foot-activated levers and pedals. The instrument was, in fact, so large that it took two musicians to play: one to bow and the other to control the "fingering", and was consequently never produced on a large scale or used much by composers (although Hector Berlioz wrote favorably about the instrument and proposed its widespread adoption). In addition to the Paris instrument, another octobass is in the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, Arizona.

Berlioz writes in his Orchestration Treatise that its lowest string is tuned to C1 (32.7 Hz), one octave below the lowest C of the cello (C2, 65.41 Hz). This note is the same as the lowest note of a modern double bass with a low C extension. The middle string is tuned to G1, a fifth above the lowest string. The uppermost string is tuned to C2, an octave above the instrument's lowest string. Berlioz quotes G2, a fifth above the top string, as the highest note playable on the instrument, giving it a compass of an octave and a fifth. However, Berlioz may have been mistaken because modern and surviving instruments are tuned C, G, C, with the low C string being 16.25 Hz (C0, an octave below the lowest C on the piano).[citation needed The modern technique of octobass playing includes the technique of fingering up to A, plus higher notes possible by extended technique.[citation needed] Octobass has been scored for in autographs of many composers including Hector Berlioz, Richard Strauss, Mahler, Brahms, Wagner, Tchaikovsky, and others.[citation needed] Recent pieces include Genesis and Four Poems by the American composer Adam Gilberti.

A similar but more recent instrument, the triple contrabass viol, has appeared on a recording by the American composer Roscoe Mitchell.

期待这张CD....，S老弟可否先详细介绍一下这张唱片，如具体演奏曲目（保泰西尼）？

推荐一张即将出版的Catalin Rotaru 演奏专辑，这是Catalin Rotaru送给我的录制样品，演奏的很好，曲目是Catalin Rotaru自己改编的，出版后应值得试听收藏。网上有很多有关Rotaru的资料和视频，他改编演奏的Pagnini 24和海顿C大很有名。

这个帖子里的extrema 是沈阳音乐学院管弦系低音提琴赵天睿教授，赵老师是我的神交，昨晚十点钟因脑溢血走了。赵老师对音乐的追求和对学生的关爱值得我自己学习，他走的太突然，他太年轻了才46岁，而他的孩子刚刚2岁半啊......,赵老师走好

可惜，英年早逝！愿赵老师在天国安息！
